Lower belly bulge - what is the best way to reinforce weak fascia in a lower tummy tuck revision? (photos)

Asked By:lindyshellp in Connecticut, CT

I had a successful tummy tuck with full muscle repair a year ago. Everything was great until I noticed lower belly bulge at around 6 months. A second PS opinion believes my MR is still intact but the fascia around it is weak and has been stretched out. What is the best way to reinforce weak fascia in a lower tummy tuck revision? PS suggested side horizontal stitching in the fascia as well as MR retightening?
