How long would it take her body to fully recover?
Has the doctor/surgeon said any exercises or movements are contraindicated?
The main thing about "belly bulge" is that its the main place the body stores energy (fat). The easiest way to flatten her tummy would to watch her caloric intake and try to raise her overall metabolism through working other parts of the body.

My partner had breast surgery after a mastectomy but had the lat flap op. In this case a part of the muscle is moved round to the breast under the skin, then a piece of skin cut and also moved to seal the area. If the ab op is similar then your client could well be missing some muscle tissue from the area. I would agree with Bryant about calorific intake and raising of the metabolism through resistance and interval training.

If your client went through chemotherapy and radio therapy then she would also have been on steroids. These would have bloated her up with quite a lot of water and increased her appetite, probably giving her the munchies for some quite unhealthy food, my partner went from being a high raw vegan to eating crumpets and cheese to get through the treatment. She still hasn't lost all of it 3 years on. Do persist and be patient, I'm sure you will succeed.

Since it's been ten years post surgery, I would re assess your clients goals.
Depending on how often your are training, I would suggest increasing her intensity and changing her workout.
You may also suggest a fit bit or body bugg to her.
Sit down and review the reality of her workouts and suggest she see's a qualified nutritionist who can evaluate her food habits

Check out TRAM flap surgery. That's where they use muscle and tissue from the transverse and rectus abdominus to reconstruct the breast.
I've looked at a bunch of pictures and drawings and it honestly looks to me like they took it all from one side of the body.
So, in your case, it could be that some of the muscle is simply not there anymore.
I am also looking for good ideas for training a woman in this situation.
Seems to me there would be one heck of an imbalance.....???

There are so many things to consider.
Is she retaining abdominal weight as a consequence of the medication she is taking?
Is she post menopausal?
Do genetics play a role in how her body fat is distributed? Some women carry adipose tissue on their hips other carry adipose tissue no their tummies.
She might need just to increase her cardio or focus the great goal of having good health.
