Had a full tt and mr 12 weeks ago. This week noticed a bulge and separation from belly button down. Surgeon confirmed this but is not keen to fix due to weak tissue and thinks it might happen again. He said if it spreads further he can do a mesh repair which I’m not keen on. Is it another big operation to go back in to fix? As big as tummy tuck? Unsure what to do. Should I see someone else?

Thank you for your question. I recommend discussing this with your plastic surgeon. Every surgeon has their own thought process on this. I allow all my patients to use NSAIDs immediately after surgery but some believe it may increase bleeding. Best of luck with your recovery.
