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: Abdomen An examination is needed to see what this could be. It could be some residual fat which could be treated with liposuction. If internal, you may have some bloating due to food allergies. Please discuss this with your surgeon.

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.
