Asked By:Sunnyskies99 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I had a tummy tuck 2 years ago, no liposuction. Initially I was very happy with the results but I have always felt not enough skin was taken and I have a lot of spare skin when I sit down. Standing up initially it looked great, but now I have bulges below my belly button. I can see and feel a visible gap below my belly button. Has my muscle repair failed? My surgeon says not? Where do I go from here?
