Answer: Tummy tuck It is difficult to determine what may be causing your concerns without an exam or preoperative photos. I encourage you to visit with your plastic surgeon for an evaluation. Was muscle repair performed? The shape may be a result of visceral fat. An examination will help determine the cause.
