I had a tummy tuck in 2012. However, the doc didn't recognize my deviated hip and scoliosis. At first I felt tight and could not tell that something was wrong but years later I could feel that the right side is tighter than the left side when rotating or when lifting my hands. Its just too tight and I feel like wanting to leave my body to my old self which is sad at time. Can I still fix the tight tummy tuck and get back old mobility back?
