Enlarged & rounded mons pubis 2 years after tummy tuck? (Photo)

aNewME123Sep 15, 2015
3 months after surgery I posted a question about my rounded mons area. The general consensus was swelling and I figured I'd give it time to improve. It has now been 2 yrs & although it improved, it is still evident. Unfortunately, I moved to MA from KS and am unable to consult with my original surgeon. Should I consider a consult with a local surgeon for a revision or to see if tissue has collected there? It feels too hard to just be fat. Is this something I am just going to have to live with?

Hello,Thank you for your question. Feeling very tight and walking bent over is common for 1-3 weeks after Tummy Tuck. I recommend that you speak with your Plastic Surgeon about your individual surgery and their recommendations to help you heal more comfortably.All the best

I would recommend aggressive massage and the use of a finger, earplug, or marble to stretch the scar.  If no immediate improvement, a steroid injection may help.   Stay in close contact with your surgeon.   All the best.

Thank you for your question.   At the current weight, you are at a much higher risk of postoperative complications.   In addition, your plastic surgeon is limited in the overall result that one can give.   There is very little weight loss that occurs with a tummy...
