Question:
Flatter Tummy after tummy tuck

Hello everyone I have a general question. I had a tummy tuck on April 19th 2005. I know im still a bit swollen etc.... but, My stomach is round, it is not flat. Don't get me wrong i love it and i see the difference instantly. I wanted to know if it will get flat or will it stay rounded. In my clothes, it is flat and my clothes look fierce, but when i take my clothes off, my tummy is round. I have a bikini cut from hip to hip and a verical cut from under breast bone to bikini cut. The Dr did a marvelous job with my cuts, they look great compared to my cut from my WLS incision. How long before i can start using a treadmill? Thank you in advance 260/155/at goal    — sexysag37 (posted on May 5, 2005)

are you wearing your support garments 24/7? if so you should not be seeing a buldge.you should be flat even f swollen...not bulging

Give it 2-3 months more before even worrying about it. Swelling takes a long time to totally go away. A slight rounding could very well be swelling. Also start wearing a support garment all the time to help the tissue anchor down well. Good Luck!

I just had my TT on 5/3. I am wearing my binder 24/7. I only have a hip-hip cut. I was told swolling will last about 2 months, and that I can start exercising again in about 5-6 weeks. I can't wait to take this binder off and see what I look like. Good Luck All. Missy Thompson
