10 months post op minor correction on tummy tuck scar. Pubic area inflammation after surgery won’t go away. Advice?

Question

Hi. I had a minor correction surgery on my tummy tuck scar. The dog ears were removed. After the surgery, I noticed my pubic area was excessively swollen. My surgeon said it was normal and that the inflammation will go down. It’s been 10 months after surgery and although it did go down. I can still see it’s bigger than normal. It really bothers me a lot. I lost weight and it’s now more noticeable. Is there anything for this problem to go away? Thanks in advance.

Only on the basis of in person evaluation one can give you good advice. It can be a deep scar or residual fat collection. Treatment can be scar revision and/or liposuction. Good luck.
