Yes and no. You will definitely notice the change in your body contour immediately. But you will also be swollen and bruised following your tummy tuck surgery. It’s just the price we pay for a flat stomach. It can take anywhere from 3-6 months for your swelling to fully reside. So, final, final results may take a while, but you will look better and better during that period. An abdominoplasty requires a bit of patience, but the pay-off is well worth it.
