Hello, tummy tuck done 7 months ago. Bulge at top, and bottom. Can you please tell me your thoughts based on pictures.
Answer: Contour irregularities The contour irregularities that are shown in your photos are not typical. It would be helpful to see your before photos to help determine what may have occurred. I encourage you to return to your surgeon to discuss your concerns as well as interventions to improve the results.

Answer: Abdomen I would suggest getting an ultrasound to see if fluid is present. Then, if negative, let your surgeon examined you. Perhaps the upper muscle was not tightened and now protruding. An examination is needed to see what is going on with the lower part. You may have some residual fat in both areas which could be treated with liposuction. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: Bulge at top and bottom of abdomen 7 months post tummy tuck. What can this be and what are my options? (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Unfortunately there are significant contour issues in your abdomen that will require surgery to correct. The nature of the bulges could be from irregular muscle repair, hernia, fluid collections or poor skin redraping. I would advocate seeking out second opinions from board certified plastic surgeons to get the best advice.
