Hello I am 3 weeks out from a full tummy tuck hernia repair and diatisti recti surgery. I am very worried cause my tummy tuck scar has some wrinkle ness to the scar. Is this normal I had a hematoma which seems to be going down I see my dr tomorrow. Will this ever go away?

A tummy tuck is indicated if there is muscle separation. Liposuction alone can remove fatty pockets, but will not address muscle wall laxity. If there is loose, hanging skin this can be worsened with liposuction, so a tummy tuck would be indicated in this situation as well. The best...
It is hard to judge without examining you but you do have loose skin and perhaps a combo of lipo and mini tummy with undermining to the rib cage to get rid of the excess skin would be nice but you need to be examined.
This does not sound like a plastic surgery problem, and I doubt a surgeon will have much to offer in the way of diagnosis and treatment. See your primary care doc or a gastroenterologist is your best bet in getting a handle on this.All the best.
