What could cause this bulge in abdomen after TT? (Photos)

I think most plastic surgeons are a little perplexed at your outcome.

So far I am in agreement with Szczerba, MD. Your fat layer is thin and the fullness is smooth and continuous above and below your scar. It appears this is the anatomy of your underlying oblique muscle wall.

I don’t think it’s related to how the surgery was performed but rather your unique anatomy.

Potentially oblique muscle tightening could have been done or could be done in the future to correct this.

A CT scan or ultrasound may or may not add useful information.

Most likely radiographic studies will come back normal and this will be considered your unique anatomy.

Redoing the procedure with muscle tightening of the oblique muscles will probably give a partial correction=improvement.

I agree that overall it was a nicely done tummy tuck.
