I had a full abdominoplasty 4years ago.I'm lean 106lbs, my plastic surgeon said it's harder to perform TTs on thinner patients because there's not as much to work with. My skin is still super lax & I have a bulge above my scar.What exactly is that..fat? Skin? I'm considering paying to have him revise to lower the scar but realistically my concern is the bump that can be seen through clothes (& defeats the purpose of a TT). Can this bump still exist even after a revision?What's going on here?

Answer: Tummy tuck bulge above scar, what's going on? Hello. Great question. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. However, a personal examination is needed to determine what your bulge is. Please schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Answer: What's going on? Thank you for the question and photos. It is difficult to answer your question without examining you. This bump can be excess fat that may be pinch able or could be visceral. It is essential to identify that prior to any treatment plan. It is best to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Abdominoplasty revision It is possible that the "bulge" you are unhappy with is excess skin and fat between your bellybutton and the scar. This could definitely be improved with liposuction of the fat beneath the skin or excision of the extra skin in that area. Both options are not nearly as involved as your original abdominoplasty with a much easier recovery. I encourage you to discuss a revision with your surgeon!
