8 months since my tummy tuck. My mons/groin area is puffy and full. Do I need Lipo? (Photos)

Best advice is to return back to your surgeon for a re evaluation. I will commonly thin out the subcutaneous tissue in the abdomen and mons during a tummy tuck procedure. In fact, we call the procedure a lipoabdominoplasty for this reason. As the swelling subsides, the improved contour in these areas will become apparent. Not all surgeons will perform liposuction at the same time as a tummy tuck, however. It is worthwhile to have this discussion with your surgeon to see if liposuction was performed at the time of the tummy tuck as well as if they think anything else is needed.

This is not an uncommon complaint from patients who have had a tummy tuck. If there was noticeable fat in the pubic area before surgery, it will be a lot more visible after surgery because it has been lifted and placed into a more visible location. This is why I either directly thin the area or perform liposuction there, to avoid this problem. I believe the first step should be if to just have a candid conversation with your surgeon that performed your previous surgery.
