I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair 13 years ago. i had liposuction the following year. I had recurring infections with the last one in 2018. I had to have surgery for an intra-abdominal abscess. Could that surgery have messed up my tt or is something else going on here? It doesnt look like Ive even had a tt

Answer: Tummy tuck 13 years ago Further evaluation is needed to determine what may be causing the contour that concerns you. From the submitted photos it appears you have internal/visceral fat contributing to the roundness of your abdomen. This is fat that is behind the muscle wall and cannot be addressed by liposuction or a tummy tuck but will improve with weight loss.

Answer: Changes after non-aesthetic procedures. Hi Laura, It is a little unclear as to what caused the intra-abdominal abscess. But if you had surgery related to an intrabdominal abscess, chanes are your abdominal wall was cut and repaired as part of that surgery. If this is new bulge/fullness after the intrabdominal surgery and cannot be explained by weight gain, you should consider having it evaluated by a surgeon. There may be new abdominal wall weakness.
