Could this bulging above my scar by pseudobursa? (Photos)

Asked By:greyhoundrunner in San Francisco, CA

I had a tummy-tuck done five years ago. I still have bulging above my scar. Abdominoplasty was done five years ago. I was not happy with the bulging above the scar at a year post-op, so a small liposuction procedure to remove what she believed to be a little excess fat that was left behind. I still have this bulge which looks like a shelf above my scar. it looks uneven in different spots above the scar. Below the scar it's flat. Could this be a pseudo bursa? Thought after five years my tummy would look better than this. Prior tuck, I had loose skin, little fat.
