TT 2.5 years ago & lipo 3 mths ago. I have had upper abdominal bulge since TT more noticeable after Lipo. My PS said its muscle weakness or stomach pushing forward that causes the bulge since he stitched from pubic to xyphoid. GS said hernia. If there is no hernia, would the mesh just bulge along with the muscle? Would it make a difference in the bulge? Would it be possible to develop a hernia after a FTT? Any recommendations (What do you think it is and what should I do)?

Thank you for your question. Some surgeons remove the BB, but other than cosmetic concerns, there is no real good use for one. Discuss this with your surgeon. I hope this helps.
You wont need even a plastic surgeon to correct this little problem even a general surgeon or a registrated nurse might correct it
no se requiere que sea un cirujano plastico cualquier cirujano general puede hacerlo inclusive una enfermera general registrada
Thank you for your question.
I would recommend that you discuss this with your surgeon but generally, I advise my patients to wait at least 2-3 months before performing strenuous activity and/or abdominal exercises after tummy tuck surgery.
