Is it possible for only a small section of your muscle repair to fail? I had a full tummy tuck in 12/2018 and lipo 360 10/20 and there is a small bulge on my right upper quadrant. I didn’t really notice it until after the lipo. It’s noticeable when I flex my abdominal muscles. It’s firm to touch when flexed. No pain. When I do the “lay down” test, it almost feels like there cold possibly be a separation there that would correlate with the bulge. Is this even possible or am I just being paranoid?
