18 months post tummy tuck I still have consist hardness, limp causing discomfort in my abs. Prior to the surgery I had three consultation with different consultants. All of which stated my abs were fine and no repair was required. I personally couldnt feel any separation. Fast forward to after surgery, the pain was horrendous as apparently I had 4 cm gap so repair was done. Ever since ive had internal lump and if a tense it bulge out above navel. My consultant has given no explanation

Dear Surgeons, I had a tummy tuck 6 months ago. 24 hours after the tummy tuck I had a big bleeding with Hmatoms, that was treated with drains. I had compression 4 months. Under my belly button is my belly hard, big and painful if I touch on. What is it? Swelling? But after 6 months? Fibrosis? I am sad, I hope, that goes away. Does it go away? Will it be okay? I want to have a flat belly. I am 160 cm and 47 kg. Should I have compression again? Thank you if you answer!
its been 10 months after my full tummy tuck with Lipo and Im noticing under my incision has a hardness, thick and lumpy. Its very unsettling. My surgeon is no longer in practice, please help
Im two weeks postop I was wondering if the swelling looks normal as I feel very big and tight as well as rock hard in the lower abdomen area and also in one photo I circled a dented looking area that I was told to massage which I do. Im not sure if the dented area is normal ?
10mpo tummy tuck. I have firm feeling on left side. My pcp sent me to a local general surgeon for follow up. He ordered a ultrasound of abdomen that only showed thickness of muscle on that side. What causes this? I'm thinking I just had a poor choice with my ps. This firmness is causing bulge which was thought to be a hernia. Can someone help??? Any advice is welcomed.
It has protruded outwards and it has been 20 months since i had my tummy tuck. I can actually touch my stomach and feel the hardness inside although there has not been any pain. Like...how long should i not panic and should i seek medical attention? Or, is this normal after so long?
Hi I had a full tummy tuck a couple of yrs ago and my stomach seems a little lopsided and hard on the right side of my belly button. When I initially inquired about my stomach not being flat, my surgeon said I had too much visceral fat and need to lose the weight. Ive tried but no changes since Ive healed. In fact, it still feels a little numb in some areas. I know suggestions will be to see my surgeon but I would like a general idea of what happened and of course a second opinion. Thank you
