“Fluid Build-up Above Belly Button After Tummy Tuck”

I decided to have a tummy tuck after having three children. Now I'm regretting that decision. I had a tuck, lipo of my inner thighs and a fat transfer.

At first things were fine but eight days post-op i had massive swelling in my legs and ended up in the hospital for a PE. The fat transfer was unsuccessful. So all I had to be glad about was the tuck until fluid began to build-up. I am now 4 months post-op and have been getting drained weekly for the past two-three months. the fluid build up is right above my belly button and makes it look as if I have two stomaches.

I have fluid build-up above my belly button after having a tummy tuck 4 months ago. Will the fluid ever go away or will I have to be drained for the rest of my life? Will the compression garments work? How long will it take for this fluid to go away? Also, I'm still very swollen, how long does it take for the swelling to go down?
