Asked By:Practical831130 in Houston, Texas

I had a Tummy Tuck 7 months ago. When I lay down, my stomach is flat. However, when I stand up, I have 4 bulges on either side of the fluer de-lis incision. 2 right below the ribcage and 2 more on either side of the belly button (The top is about the size of a racketball and the bottom is almost the size of baseballs.) My PS keeps saying I am just getting fat again. However, I have had these since surgery. They where there when they pulled my drains out at 1 week PO.
