Upper abdominal bulge (Photo)

jackietoone
I'm 8 weeks post tummy tuck and I continue to have this bulge in my upper abdomen. At first my surgeon thought it was just from the Seroma but after the fluid dissipated it stayed and has been there for five weeks after. It isnt liquid so what is it! At fist he was going to do a tummy tuck above the belly button but 5 minutes before surgery he talked me into just lowering my belly button and cutting lower. Not happy that I said yes. Still have sagging skin.
