2+ years ago I got a tummy tuck to get rid of loose skin. Unfortunately I ended up with a senoma (bulge of fluid) above the scar while it healed. My surgeon drained it several times. Once the fluid went away, there was still a bulge above the scar so my suregeon removed some of the fat in a quick office procedure. Unfortunately once the scar healed, it turned out more rainbow shaped and still a shelf above it. Is there any recommendations of what I can do to improve it?

Answer: Tummy Tuck Shelf - is there anything I can do to improve it? Hello @Intuitive675569, thank you for your question. There are several factors to consider, among which is the surgical technique and a few additional tests to establish what really happened. From there, implement a surgical plan based on your needs and expectations. In order to manage the scar process, there are several non-surgical treatments available. Technologies: laser, fixer, in other products, substances, compressive attachments. The best course of action is to consult one or more board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Seroma bursa After a large seroma which remain for weeks our body creates a capsule called bursa. The bursa preventes the skin to attach towards the abdominal wall fascia allowing the “sliding”.
