Thank you for submitting your concerns. It is somewhat difficult to give you reasons for your contour issues without pictures. There are many possibilities : residual swelling, less contouring of fat and/or skin from the procedure, bulging of the underlying musculature or seroma to name a few. Re-evaluation and honest discussions with your plastic surgeon will be the most prudent course of action at this stage of your recovery.

I’m sorry that you’re dealing with these problems. It is best for you to be reevaluated by your plastic surgeon. You may have a fluid collection beneath the skin called a seroma. If your drain has been removed already, you may need to have this fluid re-drained. Best wishes.
I work in an office. I sit most of the day. If I got a full tummy tuck, when can I go back to work? I would have someone that could drive me to and from the office. If I took a week off would that be enough time?

Thank you for your question. It really depends on two factors in my opinion,
First, how much narcotic pain medication are you requiring during the course of the day. Secondly, the ability to get up move around freely.
This is the discussion that most definitely is worthy of your Operating plastic surgeons opinion.
Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. The inverted “T”abdominal plasty or the fleur-de-lis is used to improve skin looseness below the belly button and in the middle of your tummy. The price varies on your surgeon’s experience, the time required for your operation and difficulty level of your operation.
Best wishes.
