Seroma after tummy tuck. Is it common above the belly button? 10 days post op. (photos)

Asked By:AJB76 in Atlanta, GA

After having my drain removed 10 days post-op I developed a seroma high above my belly button. Initially the nurses & PAs at the CS office had no idea what it was and were afraid to try draining it until the surgeon took a look himself. This concerned me at first. Now I've been drained 3x. Each time seeing less fluid. Wondering why mine looks different than pics I've found online? Usually seroma is near the incision it seems. And mine was very firm instead of watery feeling externally.
