Swelling 16 months after tummy tuck

How to bring down the swelling in the belly area after VG surgery? I am just 5 days post op.

Thank you so much for your post. In 2018 I had a tummy tuck that bloated on the top. I couldn’t tell when it was happening because I was wearing that stupid garment for a year, as the doctor instructed. I finally stopped wear it and my stomach gradually balloon every hour everyday. Before the surgery I was 155 lbs. Now I’m 5’3” 149 lbs bit look 4 months pregnant. Not a good look. Yes my surgeon suggested I loose weight and exercise. You noted everything I have been experiencing. In 2019, I paid thousands more for a revision. After the surgery I was flat as the table. But as you’ve said, my body is fighting back and filling the missing fat with more fat. I thank you because you have not only saved me the agony of another liposuction but wasting thousands more as well. I am taking your advice and going to live with this bulge and possibly save my life. I’ve dealt with three board certified surgeons and they are all the same. About the money.

I had a tummy tuck a year ago and still I'm getting fluid above and below the surgery site. I think I have really harmed my lymphatic system. Does anyone have this problem? Thanks.

I had my tummy tuck done 16 months ago and I’m still real hard..The surgeon said it was normal..What do you ladies think about this?

I understand how everyone that bloats feels.I had a full tummy tuck 7 months ago , I'm bloating, swelling and hurting by the end of the day. Some evenings I feel as if there's several bricks in my lower stomach and unspeakable gas. I've now started to check my foods , if they give gas or bloating I don't eat them, it's been a bit better. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please reply.

How is it now?
