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.

It is very unlikely that creatine will have any affect on your surgery. sometimes to be cautious the anesthesiologist have you stop all accessory products and vitamins etc but there is little or no evidence that creatine will have any deleterious affect.good luckdavid berman md
