Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and congratulations on your TT procedure. The lumpiness you see is from suturing techniques to help limit your incision length, causing pleating of your skin. As you go on to heal you should see steady improvement. Hang in there!
Way too early to decide and judge anything from this type of surgery. Make sure you follow all your surgeons recommendation and directions. If you are concerned about anything particular you should have them assess it for you. IT is hard for us to do this from this forum with just photos this soon after surgery. Good luck. Hope this helps.

If it makes you feel any better, you are not alone. It is not uncommon to have focal fat excess in that area, and many people who have this feel they cannot seem to get rid of it with simply weight loss. If it is a matter of volume alone, you can have liposuction to this area, and it helps a lot...
It would be extremely difficult for the average person to have enough of a vitamin D deficiency to have it affect your surgery. However, you should really make your surgeon aware of this. It's not a dumb question and it will give you some reassurance. The surgeon may tell you to drink more mi...
That hanging skin could be improved with a full tummy tuck. This would target the areas above and below your belly button.
