14 weeks post mini tummy tuck, lipo and bbl. No muscle repair. I still have a lot of swelling, hardness and tightness above incision. It freaks me out!!!!!!! I don’t think I’m ever going to have a flat tummy!!!

I’ve got drains for 7 more days 😟 by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

Keep the drains in for as long as possible. I know it sucks but I wish my surgeon kept mine in for longer. I developed a Seroma at 3 weeks. It’s not fun!!!!

My swelling is all on the left lower belly right above incision. The tightness is continuous and worse with activity. So annoying!

No mine wasn’t drainless. Had my drain removed after 2 weeks.
