Asked By:Passionate500081 in Roxborough, County Galway, Ireland

I had a drainless tummy tuck 9 months ago. I have a large bulge on my left side that is not a swollen area. I know it takes up to a year for everything to settle but this is not budging. I have 2 pea sized lumps on my scar further along that you can’t see but can definitely feel. The surgeon said that the lumps weere my body rejecting the sutures. He said the lump was where he had pulled it tight and would lipo that area at a future time. Does this look like that?
