I am 155, 5’2. I had a tummy tuck with diastasis repair a little over six months ago. My lower abs are perfectly flat while my upper abdomen is rounded. In the morning it’s a bit flatter but it always end up protruding out. Please help me understand what happened? Will I need another TT? Is this something that can be address with diet and excercise?
Answer: Upper abdomen rounded over 6 months after tummy tuck - should I consider a revision? Dear KayLani18, Thank you for your question. This is very common after a tummy tuck procedure, the reason is during your tummy tuck procedure your surgeon only does a little liposuction in your abdomen area, and cannot be aggressive to avoid complications such as necrosis If before your surgery you have significant fat in your abdomen area and visceral fat in 90% of the cases this is the results, the good news is this is can be addressed with a good routine of exercises and healthy plan of meals. Some patients also consider another round of liposuction in their abdomen area. Hope this answer can help you.

Answer: Upper abdomen rounding after surgery There may be several reasons for this. Most commonly is disruption of the muscle repair in the upper abdomen. Also, possible intra-abdominal fat, or the shifting of your abdominal organs. A thorough physical exam can determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

Answer: Tummy tuck revision You may be a candidate for a revision to tighten the diastasis in the upper abdominal area. This can be done through the prior incision. This with a liposuction retouch and you should have excellent results.

Answer: Can be dressed with a physical examination Hello, as you had the operation 6 months ago you still need some time for the final result to settle. But that rounded look may not be fixed by time. A proper physical examination can help to diagnose what is the cause. That may be fatty tissue, edema, fibrosis due to a late seroma, or recurrence of diastasis. Each have their own treatments. Regards.
