Can I Develop a Seroma 12 Weeks Post Op?
my tummy got swollen and it hurt. not only on top of incision, but the whole tummy was swollen. I have been wearing the compression garment since surgery. just take if off a few hours during the day. I probably dint use it two to three nights but Im pretty consistent with it. when can I expect to go back to complete normality?

? seroma
Yes seromas may develp weeks after surgery but rare. Your description of what is going on is unclear so it is impossible to say that you have a seroma. Best thing to do is go back to your plastic surgeon who can make this diagnosis.

Seroma development
Seroma can develop even 12 weeks postop. Your description of the situation isn't clear and so I can't comment further. However, I would encourage you to return to your plastic surgeon for evaluation and followup.

Can I Develop a Seroma 12 Weeks Post Op?
Yes a seroma can develop this late. Without a photo, (or better yet a visit to your surgeon) I would not venture a guess as to the cause of the swelling. My ability to answer the last question is also compromised by lack of photo--think about attaching one.
Do call into your surgeon. If this is a seroma, it needs to be addressed. Thanks for your question, best wishes.
