Ascites or Seroma from Tummy Tuck?
I had a TT 8 months ago and the swelling in my stomach never went down, it seems to be getting bigger. Also I cannot take deep breaths and I feel fluid in my throat. The upper stomach remained swollen after the surgery but now the entire stomach is swollen. Could it be Ascites or Seroma?

Ascites or seroma
It is unusual for a patient to know about ascites unless they have liver problems. Do you have liver problems? If you feel fluid in your throat and have liver problems, you should see your doctor immediately.

That's an unusual story. It's impossible to tell with examining you, but you should definitely see your surgeon and possible get a CT scan.
