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

Enthusiastic949608
I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair 6 months ago and have noticed in the last 3 months or so that my abdomen is hard right above my incision and my lower abdomen is not flat as i want it to be. I was expecting a much flatter abdomen than what i have. I also have fat right below my breasts and it bothers me. I had my 6 month post op and my surgeon told me my lower abdomen is my muscle that is hard. He recommended i get lipo on the lower ab where its hard and my upper abs as well.
