Muscle above the belly button is protruding outward. How can this be fixed ? Will it be as painful as the original TT?

Original Tommy tuck was done six months ago muscle was protruding out word I went for two other opinions and both doctors agreed I needed a revision tell me talk that the muscle was not tightened enough . So I went back to the original board-certified surgeon he told me he wanted to try a less invasive procedure like the suctioning above my belly button through my bellybutton . It did not work I still have a protrusion of the muscle but now I have to dance and rip the link above the Belly b .

Yes you can. The high lateral tension technique or any abdominoplasty is possible with a lap band. You will need to tell your surgeon that you have a band and let him evaluate you for the best surgery for you.

Like everything else, heart rates vary by individual. Speak with your surgeon, but no, it shouldn't be an issue. My best, Dr. Sheila Nazarian @drsheilanazarian on Instagram

You have skin rubbing on itself, this is causing irritation. The medical term is intrigenitis, which is skin irritation. You will want to keep this area dry, using baby powder or other products to wick away moisture should help.
