Unknown bulge above belly button after liposuction. What is it? How to remove it? (Photo)

March 20, 2024

I have had liposuction after my c section. I noticed this bulge above my belly button right after my liposuction and when i asked my doctor he said that its seroma and it would go away once the swelling subsides. Its been 4 years now and its still there, its more pronounced when i flex my muscles or suck in my stomach. What is it? And how to remove it? Im considering a tummy tuck to remove excess skin under belly button, but Im not sure if this irregularity will be resolved as well? Thanks!
