Fat or swelling? 6 months after TT. Should I be happy with the results and give it a year to see if the bulge goes away? (Photo)

Hello and thank you for your question! Your before and after photos are amazing! I believe you have had a great result. That being said, there is room for a minor revision. Without seeing you in person, it is hard to determine what the extent of the revision would be. I imagine you might need some additional liposuction and possibly more skin removed. Some factors that need to be evaluated are: is the area you are concern about soft or is there some hardness left, have you tried lymphatic drainage massage, and is there enough skin to be removed. I recommend you make an appointment with your surgeon and explain what you are unhappy with and see if he/she is willing to revise it. Good luck!

An examination is needed to see if you have some residual fat which can now be treated with liposuction, or if you have some residual skin which can be excised as a mini mini in the office. Go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns.

On occasion, this can happen, following tummy tuck, when too much fat is left behind above the incision line. That being said, this is easily treatable, with touchup liposuction, combined with a scar revision and a procedure that takes less than one hour.
