Post-op day 3
I had fleur de lis (anchor cut) abdominoplasty with alot of muscle work above & below belly button - so our surgeries aren't comparable.
Are you wearing abdominal binder or compression garment? I wear something 24 hours a day - even at 6 weeks out and have had minimal swelling.
Also keep feet elevated, drink fluids. I keep legs elevated while sleeping also. Stay out of the heat and keep cool.
Make sure to get extra protein (100-130 gms a day) as you need it to heal.
Best wishes.
