Asked By:Helpful415776 in Watertown, Connecticut

Hello, I am 7 months post tummy tuck and back liposuction. I went to Dominican Republic for my procedure. The recovery process was slow but finally happy with my results but still healing. Today i was massaging on and around my tummy tuck scar and when pressing down i swear it feels like tiny popping bubbles underneath my skin. I stopped right away. Is this normal or a sign of something else? Please advise Linda Silent eyes
