Bulge and ledge after extended tummy tuck! How do I fix it? (Photos)

I'm 3 months post op. I have a ext. tt wit lipo of the flanks. My tummy was completely flat after surgery, then I go a seroma. I had the seroma trained but the bulge never completely went away. I now have what looks like a muffin top on my front left side. Spots on my incision open from time to time. How do I fix this, or do I need revision surgery?
