Pseudobursa 2 years after tummy tuck? (Photo)

whitbv
Full TT in Oct 2021, w/ 1 drain removed at 2 weeks and 3 wks. While I no longer had sagging skin, I was still left with large bulge in my lower abdomen, noticeable in clothes. I asked my surgeon & she said it was remaining fat. 2yrs later, this bulge is now hard, isolated to my lower abdomen, has palpable ‘borders’ (where subcutaneous tissue density changes) & it is painful to touch firmly/manipulate. I’ve since had airsculpt, with hopes to remove it, but it persists. Thoughts?
