i had tummy tuck surgery on the 5th of nov and everything went well, week's went by i noticed a lump on my upper abdomen. i thought it was swelling so i waited for it go down but it just got bigger in size. I went to the doctor(not my surgeon as the surgery was abroad) and was told it was fibrous tissue? and that it can't be a seroma/hematoma because of the way it feels. i've never heard of this associated with tummy tucks before and how can she diagnose me without doing a scan? will it go away?
