What is this lower stomach bulge 7 months after tummy tuck? (photos)

Asked By:Salwith3 in Brentwood, California

I had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair in April of 2021. Since the very beginning I had this lower stomach bulge and was told it was swelling and would go away. Here I am almost 7 months post op and it’s still there. When I sit it rolls so I think maybe more skin? I haven’t been able to see my surgeon since June since he had to have an emergency surgery on himself. I haven’t gained any weight and I’ve been working out since I was cleared to do so. I’ve attached before and afters. Thanks!
