I’m 4 weeks post op and would love to take a hot bath. I almost think it would help with some of the firmness/tightness. But I still have almost all the glue on! Would it increase swelling and inflammation? I’m doing very well with no complications.

I know it's hard to be patient but you are very early in your recovery and can expect changes ahead. Skin puckering will typically flatten out as healing progresses and swelling resolves. This may take a few months. Be sure to discuss your concerns with your surgeon at your appointment.
Post op care is generally discussed when the cost of the surgery is reviewed prior to booking. Draining of a seroma would typically be included. I encourage you to discuss this with your surgeon and review your documents from your quote to see what is/isn't included.
Thanks for your inquiry, please call your surgeon to discuss, the rest of us on the site do not know the details of your procedure or your overall health profile. Good Luck.
