The bulge above belly button and fullness of the belly - normal? (Photos)

Question

Is this normal to have a bulge above belly button with this much fullness?(2 months post full tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo)

Peter D. Geldner, MD · Answer

There are many changes which occur following abdominoplasty, even two months later. The final result may even take six months to show itself. So you are still healing. I don't know exactly how your plastic surgeon performed your operation so any definitive statements would be speculation. My advice is to ask your plastic surgeon what they think about how you are doing two months after surgery. Express your concerns and see what they say.

Robert H. Hunsaker, MD · Answer

Without knowing how you looked before and without knowing exactly what was done at the surgery (eg- muscle plication?) there is no way to say. At one month you do still have swelling. Reevaluate it in another 3-4 months.
