Stomach dented after seroma - will it ever look normal? 2 months post-op. (Photos)

thensingsmysoul
I had INCREDIBLE results the first few weeks.. I had full tt 8 weeks ago- 4 weeks in i got a seroma (I had drains for 3 weeks). We drained a lot then put a drainage tube back in- but the seroma returned so my doctor made an open slit in my scar line and inserted a rubber “balloon” to keep it free draining. My stomach then became dented and swollen and now looks deformed. He says it will heal up and if not he can do a simple procedure to correct it. Can this be fixed?
