I had a Tummy tuck about a year ago developed cellulitis. In the area where I had cellulitis (right under my belly button) it feels like there is no fat tissue it is flat and feels hard just in that one spot and stays flat even when bloated. Is it possible to get a scar revision with this issue? I have extra skin everywhere except in that one area and now my pubic area is huge it bulges out so can they use the extra skin in that area for a revision? Also can liposuction be done at the same time?
