14 months post op and my stomach has never laid flat. I am worried that I’ll always have this ridge above my incision. What is the fix for this? I’m scheduled for an ultrasound Tuesday to see what the status of hard seroma is. Could that be part of it?

Answer: Tummy tuck results Dear cmgswan,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Ridge above incision This far out from the surgery, it is unlikely to change. This could be due to subcutaneous fat present in the area of the flap, or there was more laxity of the abdominal wall. It is possible to improve this, with either liposuction or reinforcing the lower abdominal wall. You'd need an exam to better define the situation and assess options.
