The abdominal contour that concerns you can be related to a few possibilities. If the issue is subcutaneous fat then liposuction should give you improvement. It could be that the muscle repair failed. This would require a revision of the tummy tuck for improvement. It could be visceral fat...
The upper bulge probably could be treated with liposuction. Liposuction in that area at the same time of the tuck is usually not safe and is not done. Your lower side bulge can be excised or perhaps treated with liposuction. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
The tummy tuck could help tighten your weak abdominal muscles and remove some excess skin once those muscles are tightened. This may help improve your abdomen.
