Dr has checked me out. Had a CT scan done. "Doesn't know what it could be. Everything looks completely normal on scan." Is this going to go away or is it going to be this way forever? I am 5 months post surgery.

Answer: Tummy tuck bulge above belly button. (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that your results have not been what you anticipated. Though you have received a nice improvement I see your area of concern, and based on a normal CT scan result, my best guess is that your upper abdominal muscles were not sufficiently tightened to avoid this bulge appearance. Correction would require a surgical revision but voice your concerns to your surgeon, as they can offer you the best recommendation based on an in-person examination.

Answer: Abdominal issue You would have to be examined in person and a review of your surgical procedure would be necessary as well. Was your muscle plicated?
