Can unnecessary muscle repair cause belly bulge?

Dear Kim71486,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Your concern is a very specific problem that can only be addressed in person after a thorough physical examination and review of the operative report to see what type of mesh was used and how the mesh was used to fix or repair the abdominal muscles. I would recommend that you seek out a second opinion from a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and preferably a member of the ASAPS (American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons).

Good morning! It would be fat and loose muscles or both you said you didn't had loose skin, so it could also be fluid. An ultrasound would tell which it is and is harmless and easy to do. If it is fluid, it should be drained, if it is fat, liposuction later may help, None of this substitutes for an in person exam.
