Hard abdomen above my incision scar. Would I benefit from lipo on the lower ab? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. It is very common to have some hardness above the incision line and or on the incision line. Scar tissue builds up and typically will soften up overtime. Lymphatic massage is a great option to help soften that area. It is also very common to need some additional liposuction post tummy tuck. Surgeons have to be careful with the amount of liposuction they do at the same time as a tummy tuck. If you choose to do some liposuction your Surgeon can contour the entire midsection and reduce down that bottom part of your belly as well. I would speak with your Surgeon to make sure all your concerns are addressed. Best of luck to you.

Dear Enthusiastic949608,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

If what you are noticing is indeed fatty pockets, then you should have improvement with some liposuction to the area. Your surgeon will advise when it is okay to move forward with the procedure. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
