I had a persistent seroma post TT (5 weeks ago) that was drained 3 times. This week I accumulated very little fluid. Since it didn't increase, I started back into my jogging routine yesterday and today. The fluid is gone. I think my lymphatic system 'woke up' and absorbed the fluid. I thought I was supposed to be inactive during a seroma but it appears my increased activity made my seroma go away. I'm set for a check in with my PS tomorrow but wanted to see what other docs thought. Thank you!

Free tummy tucks do not exist but Care Credit and Altheon may allow you to finance the surgery. It may also be wise to call your nearest plastic surgery residency training program to see if there is a clinic that can provide your surgery at low cost.
A tummy tuck performed by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who understands your goals will look natural when done correctly. It’s a good idea to check out before and after photos available on surgeon websites to see if their aesthetic matches yours.
