I had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair 3 years ago with no complications. I had the usual swelling after my surgery but it seems like it hasnt really went away. My question is do people with tummy tucks have water retention than people who haven't had tummy tucks? It is only My tummy and it is swelling of some kind because i can feel it under my skin. My skin will kind of feel squishy. But this isnt all the time and changes from day to day and has no correlation with my menstrual cycle.
I posted a question last week regarding noticeable belly rolls at 9 weeks post tummy tuck and lipo of flanks. A doc responded by basically stating it's totally normal. However I'm feeling like it's more than that. My belly feels very squishy and the rolls are most prominent just below my bra line. Is it swelling, or could I be gaining fat in that area again?
I hd tt mr lipo 9 weeks ago , my lower stomach/ pubic area is really soft and squishy feeling. When i sit it sticks out . Doc said it is not fluidand and to give it time, im just a bit worried. I do wear conpreddion garments. Just wanting to see if this is normal . I do not want to go bck to my doctor for this until more time has passed.
Had tt mr and lipo to flanks 9 weeks ago but my lower stomack and pubic area is really soft kinda squishy feeling and when i sit it sticks out alot. I am worried that i did not get pulled tight enough. Doc said there is no fluid i just want to know that this will go way !
My surgeon already told me in my first consult a scar revision may be needed due to the excessive stretch marks above the belly button, so this isn't a shock. But she did say yesterday she thinks it will actually go down a lot. And may not need the revision, what do you all think? I love my incision! I know this is early days but just trying to get an idea? Thanks!
