Stomach Bulge After Having Stomach Tuck 13 Years Ago. What Should Be Done?

I had a tummy tuck about 13 years ago!! I have since acquired this stomach buldge. Now NOTHING fits!!! What has happened? Why wasn't I told about this then??? I hear about so many women who are experienceing this same problem. There must be something one can do!! My plastic surgeon has retired! His name is Carl Burner from Bellevue Washington..He did a great job, but slowley this problem has grown!!!! It started a few years after my proceedure!! I hope it doesn't require another surgery?! I am now 78! I still go to the gym;, am in pretty go shape except for this atomach , which looks awful. That is why I had this done in the first place!!!!

Hi.
From your history it seems that you might be having huge umbilical hernia.
Now it seems that there is recurrence of hernia.
You may require another surgery and net should be put.
This will give permanent cure.
Avoid constipation.
Reduce weight if you are over weight.
After surgery go for abdominal recti muscle exercise after taking advicefrom your surgeon.
Ok and take care.
