I am 7 mo post op. I also had 2 umbilical hernias repaired- no lipo. I am 38, F, 115 lbs, healthy, 5’4”. Loose skin from twin pregnancy. I had a hematoma which caused several seromas that needed to be drained post op. Now I can feel hard tissue (guessing scar tissue) where the seromas were. Would I need this surgically removed? Guessing this is why skin isn’t healing correctly. I’m also uncomf bloated post op. Help with bloating and excess skin/scar tissue!

Answer: Surgery An examination is needed to check the scar tissue of concern. Go back to your surgeon to discuss this. Bloating is not related to surgery, but may be more to diet. Please ask your primary physician to do food allergy testing.

Answer: Abdominal issues Your post is not clear. You state you had two umbilical hernia repairs and no liposuction. You do not state if you had a tummy tuck or not. Are you asking if you should have one? You do not include before and after pictures. It appears you have muscle separation from your previous pregnancies, and it looks like you still have skin laxity from the pregnancies as well. If you had a plastic surgery procedure, then please spell out exactly what the procedure was and what was included. If you had a tummy tuck was muscle tightening done in conjunction? Where is the scar tissue issue? I suggest you follow up with your plastic surgeon or schedule a few in person consultations with providers in your community. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
