My overall experience was great, I had my surgery two weeks ago.

I am familiar with these procedures, I work in recovery for a few surgery centers and cosmetic clinics.

I am a mother of twins, during pregnancy I gained a goof 55 pounds all in my belly. The pregnancy went full term and I gave birth to two beautiful baby girls. I decided that since they recently turned two that it was time for a mommy makeover. I had drains in for a week, and as soon as the took it out I started developing some bulging over the incision... Told the dr and he merely told me it was swelling...

A week later the bulging is worse and is quite jiggly, I emailed the dr photos and he is agreeing that this could be a seroma

I saw the Dr today, we have to keep an eye on the fluid collection, we are afraid that the pooling may stretch out the skin since its so thin from bearing twin full term babies in the first palce ;)
