What Is The Hard Mass Around Belly Button?
I had full tummy tuck 3 months ago... Drains failed and removed 4 days after. Have been swelling really bad and never drained once . I told ps but said it would resolve . I have constant burning on left hip and no curve. I also have hard mass around belly button. Is this normal?

Hi and thanks for the query,
I suggest a proper clinical review. An abdominal ultrasound coupled with a plain film of the abdomen would be very informative. A complete blood count would tell us whether there is an infection or not. A clinical review and results from the laboratory and ultrasound results would decide on the cause, and the treatment option, either medical or surgical. Kind regards
