Is bulge above scar 7 months post mini tummy tuck & muscle repair normal? (Photos)

September 19, 2024
Asked By:AmyMck11

I had a mini tummy tuck and muscle repair done about 7 months ago. I have two large bulges above my scar and am wondering if this is normal or if it’s a seroma or something else? All of The pants that I wore pre surgery don’t do up anymore and I haven’t gained any weight or changed my diet. The last three pictures that I’m including are the day before surgery
