So about 4 years ago I had a Fleur De Lis tummy tuck and my Dr did some lipo in my stomach. I am here because more recently I am noticing a bit of a bulge in my upper left abdominal section of my stomach. A new Dr told me via video consult that I could need a whole new tummy tuck. I really do not want to do another tummy tuck when it seems like this one problem area is like a small pocket of fat. My question is, wouldn't liposuction to the area be enough? thank you in advance !
