I had a tummy tuck in dec.2021 (photo1): no problem with my bb until 6months postop when I noticed it started closing. I got severely irritated when using earplug so I had to stop. Sept.2022 (photo2), the closing was more severe (size of QTip) but the scar was flat, and no inflammation. Jan.2023 (photo 3), inflammatory, hard bump, opening of the size of toothpick. My PS doesn’t know why and he’s scared a revision might cause more ugly scarring & closing may occur again. What are my options?
