Tummy tuck bulge above scar, what's going on? (photos)

January 10, 2019
Asked By:LanaKane in Orange County, CA

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?
