3 weeks post op

Last weeks horrible swelling has gone down. My belly button was infected so I continued antibiotics and was making sure to keep it clean. It's clearing up and healing!! My tummy tuck incision is healing nicely... The sides by my hips are still a little bumpy but getting better... Those stitches are still visible. The stiches above my public area are gone and its closed very nicely... A thin scar line. I'm starting to get back to normal and less zombie like! Haven't had much pain.

13 days post op...SO SWOLLEN!
Tomorrow I will be 2 weeks post op. Since yesterday I've been so swollen bellow my incision/my public bone area. I went to my family practice doctor because I was concerned about a seroma.
They did a CT scan at told me
I don't have a seroma. I Emailed my surgeon and they advised more rest and massage.
Anyone else have swelling INCREASE at two weeks? It's making me sad

I should have read here first before relying above lol
Totally normal. Sometimes
It's worse & stays longer sometimes no swelling. All depends. Try to rest as much as u can. Make sure your eating healthy drinking lots of water & walking around also. It truly gets better with time!

Are you wearing a faja? Aka girdle? Suppose to wear one for 3 months and only have it off for about 45mins in the day. It relieves pressure and keeps u from swelling

Thanks!!!! :) im wearing my compression garment 24/7. When I take it off to wash it I wear an ACE wrap then as soon as it's dry I put it back on! I think I was just a little too active. I looked less swollen this morning.

More pics.
The only incision on my breasts is the right nipple from the lift. Implants were put in during the tummy tuck for minimal scaring/incisions.
Swollen and puffy today.

It does get better with time. Some women swell Howard's of 6 months to a year. Some don't swell at all. I still get swollen but have basically narrowed it down to if I eat high salt foods or if I push myself too hard (example : forking an entire round bale
Of straw by hand Into a shelter... I expandes into a swollen balloon ready to pop the next day) so try to eliminate what u did the day prior & see if that helps? Swelling is also the bodies self defense mechanism so
It
Might just need time
To adjust also! Either way it WILL get better :) hotttttie!
