I had tummy tuck with muscle repair 2 years ago. My waistline is extremely tight-feels like a very tight wire/rope is attached my belly button and pulled tightly around my entire wait. It is so tight that my right side ( front and back) burns, making it hard to sit and sleep. Feels like I am being cut in half at the waist. Perhaps, related I get extreme muscle spams if I turn too quickly. Shadow where linea nigra used to be now visibly off center. What is going on?

It may not be possible to completely remove the vertical scar with your tummy tuck. This generally does not cause additional problems but can increase wound healing time.
This sensation is normal. Muscle repair with tummy tuck causes the tight feeling and may last for quite some time. It does tend to normalize eventually.
Thank you for your question. Sometimes is normal because with the tummy tuck is not recommend to perform intense liposuction on the belly area to avoid any scar tension. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired...
