Hernia? After Full Tummy Tuck? (photo)

Is extremely unlikely that you have a hernia in the area pictured. The problem should be investigated even if treatment is not desired. There may be something amiss with the initial repair or there may be something else going on unrelated to the previous abdominoplasty.

As has been posted, online consultants cannot tell you what you have. A bulge is simply a weakness. A hernia is a true defect in the abdominal wall through which abdominal contents push. Hernias typically require treatment while bulges do not. That location is much more commonly a bulge unless you've had a previous incision. A CT scan can help distinguish between the two. Either way, the area won't simply "go away" with repair. An internal mesh would treat both issues as it places a barrier underneath the abdominal wall to prevent the unsitely show of a bulge or repairs the separation in a hernia. It might be a good idea to have your two surgeons talk with each other as to how to proceed.
