Pain: Severe
Pain: Severe
Tummy tuck satisfaction: Good
I recommend my Tummy tuck provider:
Right after my tummy tuck i developed a lump at the right supra paraumbilical region that it was paintful to touch. the doctor told me that it was nothing that it was going to go away.
its being 2 years and it still there. Is it possible to developed a abdominal wall defect after a tummy tuck?

A hernia versus fat necrosis. A clinical exam can determine the difference. If difficult to detect, a CT scan could be done. Best of luck!

It is very unlikely to develop an umbilical hernia following a tummy tuck, unless you had the hernia before. Most likely this is an area of fat necrosis or perhaps a stitch abscess that remains. An abdominal wall ultrasound could delineate it;a CT scan would be better.
