Tightness In Belly, Red Marks. Had Tummy Tuck. What Can Help Relieve The Tightness?

I am 14 weeks post op from tummy tuck, breast lift/lipo of the flanks. Everything feels great except for the extreme tightness I have on one side of my belly. It's causing red marks/stretch lines on my lower belly button. I see my PS next week but I am quite concern with this. Is there anything I can do to relieve this tightness?
