I need some guidance as I am feeling so discouraged. I have this bulge right above my pubic area. I have had a CT scan and they said there is no seroma. I had my skin only tummy tuck 18 months ago and it just never really went away. I never had this pre op and I didn’t see it right after surgery, it sort of just appeared about 2-3 months after surgery, when I look down toward my feet all I see is this bulge in that area. It is so disheartening because everything else went so well. Pls help.
