Could my tummy tuck be botched? (Photo)

January 23, 2019
Asked By:TxGirlOnFlat in Dallas, TX

I had a tummy tuck w muscle repair, no lipo. Initially I was pleased with results. Anything is better than rolls on my stomach but after over 2 mnths the bulging on my lower part of abdomen by incision has not gone down and my stomach is not as tight as it initially felt right after surgery. Do you think lipo should fix this or would I need a revision? PS keeps dismissing concerns and says it’s just swelling and should reside but I have not seen any women look like this. Do I need a 2nd op?
