I had an open myomectomy in 2012. Stomach hs weird lumping in fat on the left side. Scar does nt bother me like lumping does-visible in pants/bathing suits on my left side. The right side is flat and is not an issue. Would a small amount of lipo fix this? I don't feel I am a candidate for a tummy tuck because this is not severe. Will child birth make this worse? I know I should wait until after any children before getting fixed. I also do not want large scar that comes along with a tuck.
