I'm 10 weeks post-tummy tuck surgery, and everything has proceeded smoothly. However, I do sense that I still have swelling, both above and below my belly button, although not as severe as it was initially. There is no pain, just a persistent sensation of tightness. I understand that recovery times can vary from person to person. Should I consider this as a normal part of the healing process, or is it cause for concern?
Swelling following an Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) can persist for 3-6 months, which is not uncommon. If you have concerns, it is recommended to schedule a follow-up visit with your surgeon. A thorough physical examination will help determine the cause of your concerns.
Swelling is a normal part of the healing process after an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and it can persist for up to 6 months or sometimes even longer. However, it is advisable to visit your surgeon for an examination to determine if there are any abnormalities present, such as fluid collections known as seromas.
