I had tummy tuck performed September of last year. Since the beginning I've had a bulge on the top part of the stomach. It gets slightly larger when I drink or eat big amounts. I am a young and fit person, and have lost 60 kg by exercise and change of diet naturally.

I don't know if this is correct or if he wants to avoid doing a revision.
