Hello I m a 27 female that have problem with my belly since childhood.. I wake up with flat belly, but while eating my belly would swell up, and by night I would look like 7 month pregnant.I am 55 kg and 170 cm. I went to a doctor and there were no allergy, no food intolerance, no lactose, no fructose and anything like celiac. I had koloskopi and the test was fine. my ct showed a fine test. Do you think a tummy tuck with fascia repair will help me?

Answer: Is Weak Fascia/Stomach Muscle Cogenial? Or else What is Wrong with Me?
I don't think there are any remedies other than surgery, and surgery may not be a good idea either. But without photos, I can't offer any specific suggestions
All the best.
Thank you for your question. At 6 weeks postop it is time to consider drain removal or sclerosis of the space. The longer a drain stays in place, the longer the risk of a wound infection. The risk of seroma recurrence needs to be balanced with the risk of infection. Discuss this matter...
Belly protrusion may be the result of intraperitoneal fat ( or what I call fat in the "fishbowl") that can't be treated, weakness of the muscle, or possibly curvature of the spine. This are just a few of the reasons.
