It has just been 3 years since my tummy tuck
surgery. It is unusual for me but recently i have
alot of tightening and some tenderness on my
surgical line and was very itchy felt inside. When i
stretch it feels very tight this is the first time i
am having any post surgical pain. Is this strange 3
years later of is something else going on?

Lorraine,
I couldn't really tell you if something else is
going on, only medical testing can tell you that.
It's been longer than that since I had my tummy tuck
with lateral thigh lift but last year I experienced
the tightening that you described and occasional
pain (not really pain, more like an awareness of
something). I do remember some itching as well, but
only off and on for a day or two.
But I knew what mine was from.
I had gained a couple of pounds and my body was
reminding me of that. It was like my waist/ incision
line was at it's stretching point.
For me, a couple of days of dieting made it go away.
Maybe I ate something that made me retain a lot of
water weight or something. Not really sure.
I haven't heard of anyone else describing your
symptoms so long after a tummy tuck.
Good luck,
Tanner
