I am four weeks post op from a tummy tuck and lipo. I am experiencing a bit of discomfort in my belly button, ands welling more in my lower abdomen. I find that my swelling is not that bad in the morning, but as the day goes on i do have a substantial amount of swelling by the evening. My plastic surgeon did examine me two weeks ago and i do not have a seroma. Is this type of swelling and discomfort in my belly button normal at this stage in my recovery? what can i do to help w/swelling.
