Dent after mini tummy tuck
It's not uncommon to have some dents and irregularities 1 month after this procedure. They are usually caused by sutures. Once the suture is absorbed they usually go away. It also depends if you had liposuction or not.
Talk to your surgeon. He/she knows exactly what was done and which sutures were used. They would know if what you are experiencing is normal.

Without a picture and without knowing the details of your procedure, it is difficult to say. A dent can be caused by liposuction or it could be caused by an underlying stitch.

Discuss this with your surgeon. In any event a revision could manage the problem but would best be deferred for several months
