Tummy tuck /Swelling

I had a tummy tuck 3 months ago 2 weeks ago I started to swell and have pain in my upper stomach now I look like I am pregnant I have pain on my left side.  When I eat it gets worse, is this normal, I would think not.

Tightness at this stage after abdominoplasty is likely due to internal (intra-abdominal) pressure against the rigid tightened abdominal wall fascia.  If you have gained any weight since your procedure, this would likely cause this problem.  Seek the advise of your surgeon.
