I had TT 5/27/14 was not happy so I had lipo of abdomen 8-2 still had a muffin top so I was cut circumfrentialy to remove excess skin & tissue 11-2 I've noticed from day one my lower abdomen always stuck out more than I felt it should, could the repair have been weakly done from day one? Or what could of gone wrong, my surgeon is redoing my muscle repair 12-6 w/clamps is this possible I can't find anything on it. What are the odds of this second repair failing? Could exersizeing have cause it?
