Answer: 7 months post op tummy tuck, have a hard bulge above my incision. Is this normal? Hello @Thoughtful863232, thank you for your question. It is critical to consult the doctor that performed the surgical procedure. This is because he knows what type of technique he or she used and how he or she performed the procedure. Is also important to evaluate if there is something else at a systemic level to make you still swollen. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Abdomen You need to be seen by your surgeon and examined, and possibly have an ultrasound to see if fluid remains and if a seroma thick walled cavity has formed.
