Asked By:SDMom619 in San Diego, California

Tummy Tuck Scar Tissue Remova I had a mommy make over in 2015. I am happy with my overall results however I had expected the swelling at my tummy tuck to have gone away a long time ago. I am now understanding this must be a lot of scar tissue. It is hard and always sticking out. Are there any procedures that can be done to remove this or reduce the size of the “lump” I now have?
