Answer: Repeat tummy tuck with mesh reinforcement This cannot be extra abdominal fat, this has to be intraabdominal fat. You have gained weight and have a weak abdominal wall. When I perform tummy tucks, I routinely use mesh, which creates a more hourglass figure, compresses the abdominal wall and results in early satiety as helps maintains the reduced weight. You may need a repeat tummy tuck with mesh reinforcement.

Answer: Bulging abdomen I encourage you to return to your surgeon for an evaluation. If you have gained weight the contour could be from visceral fat, which is the fat behind the abdominal wall that surrounds your organs. It also could be that the muscle repair failed. Your surgeon should be able to help determine what is occurring.
