Can a tummy tuck change hormones - 2 months post-op. (Photos)

Hello. I had my surgery on 10/5/2017 and am now post op 8 weeks. My periods have been a little irregular since but this does not concern me. What's does concern me is hair growth. Since the procedure my body hair (not head hair) is growing back super fast after removal techniques. I used to shave every 8-9 days but I am now having to shave every 2 days. It is not an issue but it is frustrating. Thank you in advance.

This does not appear to be normal although the photo is not the greatest.  Best to be seen in person by a surgeon to evaluate this.  If your doc is out of town I would suggest calling local docs to see if someone will see you.  If just allowed to heal on its own it will very likely scar poorly.
