I appreciate your question.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

should be evaluated by your surgeon as your surgeon knows what was done and what it may be.  I have  no clue as my patients have not experienced what you described in my 20+ years of experience.

Thank you for the question. I am afraid this is a case where it is not possible to give any advice which is accurate without the benefit of an in-person examination. I would therefore recommend your follow up with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Paul Gill, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question.  This is most likely related to the muscle repair.  I would recommend close followup from your plastic surgeon.  All the best.
