Bulk on right side of stomach visible through clothing after tummy tuck, is there a remedy for this? (Photos)

December 7, 2024
Asked By:Fearless994004 in Pensacola, Florida

My surgeon told me he couldn’t see it, and said it was probably muscle and there was nothing he could do. I feel alone and frustrated with this issue. I am a shy person so I avoid confrontations and rarely speak up. So I accepted what he said and moved on. But seeing this everyday makes me frustrated since the procedure was costly. I again have to avoid certain clothes that are tight on that area. I am not happy and I don’t blame the surgeon but there should be a remedy to this ?
