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?

Abdominoplasty is a great procedure for removing extra skin for people who are at their ideal body weight. With abdominoplasty, you can expect for the overhang of skin that you have along your lower abdomen to be removed. The upper abdomen will not change much. I would recommend attempting...
Most likely you have done tight scar tissue that is causing the problem. Surgery may be the answer concentrating on where the pain is and physical findings of any tenderness in the area.
NO posted photos to review so no way to advise. Maybe virtual consult with… might allow a determination or even better in person consult. The drainless TT with mesh really not good idea but also the amount of ski. Removed might be an issue.
