Persistent pain and sensory abnormalities after abdominoplasty. I am very upset that I ever got this surgery, because a year after this life changing surgery, I have discomfort and tightness in the area. When my twins squeeze my belly area, the skin actually hurts. It's painful. Let's say a button, or belt buckle rubs on it, it hurts. I have this hard ball near the incision area. Can a pseudobursa be causing this. Surgeon ignored the possibility of a seroma. I'm so unhappy because of the pain. Please help. My surgeon is sloppy. Don't direct me to him.

Answer: Discomfort after a Tummy tuck Thank you for your question. It could take quite some time for the scar tissue to break down which could be causing some if these issues. Without an in person evaluation it's hard to determine what's actually going on, but the hard lump under the incision could possibly be some scar tissue which can be softened by having some cortisone injections and massage to the area. I would recommend either following up with your surgeon or seeing another Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to re-evaluate you and see what can be done to help this process along. Best of luck to you.

You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation and discomfort are normal.
