I had my TT 3/2020 then had a revision for extra skin 3/2021 along with ab Lipo. (He went through bb for Lipo) Since my revision there has been a petrusion at my bb area. If I suck in completely it's not noticeable but other than that it is. If I'm laying down or flex my abs it is prominently higher and not level with the rest of my abs. :( I don't want no the surgery and my GI dr and PCP both said it's not a hernia. I'm at a loss here as to what it is or how to fix it. My ideas? Please help!

It's difficult to assess your results from this limited photo. It would be helpful to see your before/after photos if you have them. If you are uncomfortable with your results you may want to seek a second opinion from another board certified plastic surgeon near you.

A tummy tuck removes fat in front of the abdominal wall, as well as excess skin. Any abdominal muscle separation is typically also corrected. The space where your organs are is not addressed and the organs are not moved. Hope this helps!
