I’m 5’3, 130lb . I haven’t gained any weight since my surgery. I had a tummy tuck with MR last February and my DR said my swelling would go down . The top of my stomach looks amazing but right above my incision I have a huge bulge . And when I wear leggings it sticks out . What can be done or what went wrong ? Will it go away.
