I had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair exactly 8 months ago. Overall l'm happy with the results, but curious if the "lumpiness" along my scar is swelling and will eventually go away, or if that is my final result? Is 8 months post still too soon to tell?! Thank you!

Answer: Lumpy area along incision At 8 months post op it is unlikely you will see much change in the area that concerns you. If it is residual fat your surgeon may be able to perform a little liposuction for improvement, but an exam would be needed to know for sure. I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about your concerns and discuss possible treatments.

Answer: Will this lumpy scar eventually go away, or is this my final result? 8 months after tummy tuck (Photo) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Unfortunately that will not resolve on its own as it is likely some skin and adipose tissue creating that appearance. A surgical correction will be required, either additional liposuction or liposuction with a small amount of skin removal.
