11 weeks post-op TOMORROW.
Its not seroma, or however you spell it. I YouTubed what it looked like and its FOR SURE not a waterbed! lol... So im hopeful that its just maybe swelling? My only issue with it is its hard. Why is it hard? I hit up my PS with a pic and he said its just swelling, and to try to tap it to see if it looked like a wave. No wave.
Here. This is the convo:

Hi Dr Brown!
I was writing because some people have me worried about my tummy tuck. My family Dr (on base. Boo) said it looks like a possible seroma ****that was a lie, just wanted to see what he'd say****, and a few friends of mine said the same.
Is it possible to get that this far out? The pic was taken at 8 1/2 weeks post, and my tummy in that section is hard. I was told to ask you about it. I was so worried the other day i was crying about it.
Also! Under my breasts it kinda indents when i raise my arms up. Its under both of them. I was wondering what it is? Its very important i know because i need to know if i need a revision.
Please get back with me.

My PS-
Hi, you are welcome to come in. The other day when you lifted up the heavy car seat and pull something, you may have caused a bit of bleeding? Doubtful though. If you have a fluid wave like a water bed in that area on your tummy, then you have seroma. If there is no wave, then odds are it is only swelling. As you have come out of the garment and began doing more activities, your swelling will worsen episodically. This can take SEVERAL months to go away completely. Again, you are welcome to come in if you like.
As for your breasts. You have large implants and lifting your arm way over your head like that can expose them. That is not a natural position and I would not recommend any treatment for this at this time.
As for incisions, I use a few as possible to get the job done well.
Me- I dont understand the wave thing. Can i try to email a video? Ill just poke it and send it?
My PS-
Sure if you like. Basically, if you have ever sat on a waterbed and seen the wave move across the bed. That is what you will see if there is fluid. You would push down on the area closest to your belly button but still on the bump. Then look out towards your hip. It you see a wave move across it, then you have a seroma. If not, then it is probably swelling secondary to your activity. It will go away over time. Again you are welcome to come down and or send me a video.
Anyway. I never sent a video because i looked up a video on YouTube. So i guess thats out.
STILL, being hard... why is it hard? Anyone have any guesses?
Ill post pics.
And my boobs... well, im gonna get them redone. I still think theyre too saggy.
Hope everyone is good

Dr Brown is a good guy, but Im not happy with his work BL and BA? My boobs still sag AND i can feel my implants. Not cool. Dr Brown also told me that he was going to make my TT incision low, and its 70's style. Every time i call because Im worried, "its normal". No... its not. I think if Dr Brown would have asked me more about what i was wanting, and followed through, i would recommend him to people. He did a shabbily done job, and now i have to get another Dr to fix it! VERY unhappy!
