Can a lump and dent above the belly button be fixed with a Lipo revision ?

November 6, 2015
Asked By:sun1965

I had a full tummy tuck and lipo 8 weeks ago . It seems the garment after my surgery was put on too tight and did not fit right as per my surgeon . So it left a dent and a lump below that above my belly button . My doc has tried several things like a board and a book under my new garment . Also I am on my 6 th treatment of ultrasound I go once a week . Now doc is trying a foam board with a hole where my dent is I wear that under a wrap garment . Can this be fixed ??
