Usually do not come with symptoms so you must make sure this is the source for you. An aspiration will take it down temporarily and if your symptoms persist, I would not be optimistic that surgery will help you. If you are able to remove this, the lining should be removed with it as well. An...
Thanks for the information. You still have residual laxity both in the front and extending to the sides. The residual laxity in the front is visible in the sitting position picture. for this reason its a good idea to the tummy tuck in a beach chair position. The sides can be corrected by a ...
