Tummy tuck 6 months post op, is my muscle repair failing? bulging and hanging roll. (photos)

Only side views posted no front views?? So hard to advise but only complete revision n of muscle plication can correct. But might be excess fat ? Best to virtual consult with

The number one reason patients have abdominal bulging after a tummy tuck is because of exes visceral fat pushing against the back of the muscle wall. Anybody with a significant amount of excess visceral fat will have to lose weight to get a flat abdomen and no amount of muscle tightening can hold back the increased intra-abdominal pressure from access visceral fat with that weight loss.
If you know how much you weighed at the time of surgery then compare that to your current weight and make sure that you are at least down 2 pounds from your weight at the time of surgery. Otherwise try dropping five or 10 pounds and you should see a significant improvement in your abdomen.
Insufficient muscle tightening can be an explanation but the most common is excess visceral fat that should have been picked up and discussed during an in person consultation explaining to the patient the need for maintaining weight or possible weight loss for ideal outcomes after surgery.
Follow up with your provider or schedule in person second opinion consultations.
