Is this bulge above the tummy tuck incision normal? (Photo)

Asked By:No more mommy tummy in Atlanta, GA

I am 17 DPO from a tt, mr, and lipo of flanks. Does this look like a normal result? I'm concerned about the bulge above the incision. Will it flatten out eventually? I am also concerned about how high the incision is. He took out both of my c section scars, so I'm not sure why it's so high. Will it drop when the swelling goes down? I did lots of research on my surgeon before I let him do this procedure. He's board certified with lots of great references and reviews. So what happened?
