10mpo tummy tuck. I have firm feeling on left side. My pcp sent me to a local general surgeon for follow up. He ordered a ultrasound of abdomen that only showed thickness of muscle on that side. What causes this? I'm thinking I just had a poor choice with my ps. This firmness is causing bulge which was thought to be a hernia. Can someone help??? Any advice is welcomed.

My answer would be a simple “no”. Despite the cute nickname tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a big deal & huge metabolic hit to your body. Recovery & healing require a positive nitrogen balance so more than adequate nutrition is needed. Fast some other time & help your body recover/heal appropriately!
Dear 777561,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. Based on your photos, it looks like you have small areas of necrosis and your plastic surgeon should remove it. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon...
