Gorgeous8005
Hello Doctors. I've had a tummy tuck 6 months ago in Istanbul. It was very agressive surgery and my surgeon gave me 3 layers of sutures to close my diastatis. 6 months later my abdoment still isnt flat how i wouof off liked it. I have buldge above my navel and below in my mons area its buldges out a lot and feel really hard. My scaring is poor, because my wounds came apart slightly after surgery. Im just seeking advice on what is causing rhe buldge if its vistral fat, or sutures loosen?
