Hello,
Thanks for your nice query.

Tummy tucks is not going to help you.
For better comment, I would like to know the size of the lump, whether increasing, stationary in size. Also duration of lump noticed, exact site of lump, any other sign & symptom along with occasional hurt, any loss of weight or appetite.
