Hard Swelling 2 Months Post LipoAbdominoplasty

Worth It
Spent: $6,000 in San Jose, Costa Rica

Updated 26 Dec 2009

Posted 22 Dec 2009

I had a LipoAbdominoplasty 2 months ago. (Oct 20,2009). The drains fell out after just about 3 days, so I started draining from my umbelicus. One month later, (Nov. 20, 2009) when the draining had pretty much subsided & my umbelicus was slowly closing, I had the umbelicus surgically closed again. Since them, I have had more swelling in my abdominal cavity. 2 weeks later, My Dr.s checked me for seromas & even inserted cannulas, no fluid was found.

I liked the Drs. & clinic personel. I traveled from NY to Costa Rica 3 times so far. I did it for my health. (I also had my arms lifted) That's a whole different story.

I am massaging frequently & still wear my garments most of the time, but there is still areas of HARD swelling which seems to actually "move".. Will this eventually absorb?
