Ascites or Seroma from Tummy Tuck?

Caribbean girl
I had a TT 8 months ago and the swelling in my stomach never went down, it seems to be getting bigger. Also I cannot take deep breaths and I feel fluid in my throat. The upper stomach remained swollen after the surgery but now the entire stomach is swollen. Could it be Ascites or Seroma?
