Lump after gastric bypass surgery - will it affect tummy tuck results? (photo)

You will need to find out the nature of the lump on your abdomen. If it is a hernia it may be able to be repaired at the same time as your tummy tuck. See a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation and evaluation. Further testing may be necessary to determine the cause of the lump.

The lump in question is probably an incision hernia. This can be repaired during the tummy tuck procedure.

For optimal outcome, please consult a fully qualified plastic surgeon, who has specialist qualification in plastic surgery 'FRCS Plast' after having being trained adequately in the field of plastic surgery, is registered on the 'Specialist register for Plastic surgery' with the General Medical Council and has been considered competent enough to be a member of the 'BAPRAS' (British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons) and 'BAAPS' (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) at the least.

Hi, Seems like you have developed a small hernia at the keyhole surgery incision. This should not prevent you getting a tummy tuck at all. An ultrasound scan test is needed to check it. Hernias can be easily repaired during the tummy tuck surgery but may need a small mesh.
