Question : when do I suppose to see my swellon go down from a tummy tuck...I'm 6 week post op
Brief Answer:
Can take a month or two
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I would need to know about the extent of swelling before commenting. Could you please upload an image? I want to check for signs of inflammation. As such the swelling may occur due to altered drainage of tissue fluids due to damaged lymphatics. However, the swelling should subside completely in a month or two from the tummy tuck.
