Hi i had a MMO in Aprill 22. Alls been fine overall although i was slower healing. My button has a 1cm aprox hard lump. Its now gading in olur but still very much there. Imm unhappy with how it looks. I am told its over granulated and common. I was told to get foam dressing from my local nurse office but they refused and said it might be an undissolved stitch that would eventualy work its way out. However months later nothings changed other than the colour. My surgeon is not responding

Answer: Belly button hard lump 6 months after mommy makeover. What can be done about this?
I would suggest getting an ultrasound to see if fluid is present. Then, if negative, let your surgeon examined you. Perhaps the upper muscle was not tightened and now protruding. An examination is needed to see what is going on with the lower part. You may have some residual fat in both areas...
Hello krislinka. Thank you for your question regarding the bulge in your lower abdomen.
I appreciate your history and your photos. First, I would like to ask if you had muscle repair done during your tummy tuck. If you did, there is a possibility that the muscle repair might need to be redone....
You should be able to sleep in your bed at two weeks. Use a stool to get on the bed if needed, or stay in the recliner or sofa until you can easily get into bed.
