Tummy Tuck Swelling Post Op

Devin,

It's hard to tell exactly how long it takes for tummy tuck swelling to go down. After your tummy tuck, your not quite sure about how much of that protruding area is swelling, extra pounds that you should have lost before the operation or what is "normal" for you after the operation. 3-5 weeks is the commonly accepted time it takes for tummy tuck swelling to go down. In my case I would have to guess my swelling went away in two to three months but I had a thigh lift as well as a tummy tuck done (way more swelling that just a tummy tuck).
