I have a bulge in my lower abdomen that's worse on my right side. My PCP sent me to get a CT scan but it doesn't show anything abnormal. I'm so confused what's going on wit my lower abdomen this far out after surgery?
Answer: Recurrent lower abdominal bulge 10 months after your abdominoplasty procedure there may have been some relaxation of the abdominal muscles in the lower part of your abdomen. I am sure that your surgeon performed an adequate repair of the muscles. In some cases though this repair can relax or loosen. This may require a mini abdominoplasty for revision with re-repair of the lower abdominal muscles.

Answer: Lower abdomen It's difficult to tell what may be causing the protrusion of the lower abdomen without an examination. It could be fluid build up (seroma), excess fat, or perhaps the abdominal wall correction failed. The resolution will be based on the underlying problem. I encourage you to return to your plastic surgeon for an evaluation.
