No Tightness or Pain After Tummy Tuck and Liposuction procedures

I had a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction done 6 days ago, and am able to do everything in exactly the same manner as before, with no pain or discomfort of any kind. I can also still grab a handful of skin on each side of my belly button. Are these normal? Shouldn't there be a least a sensation of tightness after these procedures?

Tummy tuck and liposuction

Techniques between surgeons differ and post-op day six is still early but usually after a tummy tuck in my San Francisco practice patients notice significantly tighter abdomens. Generally, it can be quite common for patients to walk slightly bent over secondary to the tightness. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Abdominoplasties are fantastic ways to contour the abdomen and remove excess skin as well as tighten the core muscles of the abdomen. I hope this helps. Steven Williams, MD
