6 weeks post-op. I have overhang after mini tummy tuck. Will it go away? (photos)

Asked By:TU523 in Philadelphia, PA

I had a mini tummy tuck 6 weeks ago and I am very concerned about the bulge/overhang above my incision. My surgeon says this will resolve on its own but from the look of it I am concerned it will not and I will need a revision. Some is swelling that fluctuates, and at first for the first two weeks the bulge was not present and my stomach was completely flat-is it possible this bulge forms as healing progresses and will it go away? HELP
