What is the uneven bulge under my belly button? (Photo)

I had a liposuction on may 2015 on my abdomen. Five months later I had a touch up lipo on my abdomen (had a big bulge on lower abdomen). It's is been a week since my retouch but I noticed a bulge that is uneven below my belly button. It feels soft and doesn't hurt at all. Is this swelling? It will even up if I massage?

These procedures can be performed together.  If the hernia is done first, I typically have my patients wait 3 months after before getting the liposuction.  If the liposuction is done first, then the hernia can really be done immediatly after.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I suggest having your physician evaluate the area to see if this is realted to the surgery or not.  If scar has developed there are treatments for this.  If the area is fat, there are other options.  Best, Dr. Emer.
