I had a TT and look contour 9 months ago, since I have had a Seroma drained and dog ear correction, however my upper abdomen buldges over my belly button when tensed. It gets swollen and puffy after exercise, now I know there is a degree of fat there but it doesn't seem right. The pictures show me tensing the abs and you can see how much this is distended. Is this where the sutures are looser at the top than the bottom? Can it be fixed easily??

Answer: Upper abdomen bulge You would need to be examined in person, with a copy of the operative note, to understand whether or not this is a seroma, muscle laxity, residual fat, etc. The solution to the bulge depends upon this exam, but there should be some way to address it. Discuss this further with your surgeon.Best of luck!

Answer: Upper abdominal bulge after TT and can it be fixed? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I see your area of concern and this is likely one of two conditions - seroma or muscle laxity. The correct diagnosis can be determined through an in-person examination with your surgeon. In either case correction would require a revision tummy tuck to either remove the seroma and its surrounding scar tissue or to tighten the muscles. Hope this helps.
