I am worried this could be trapped fluid that needs to be drained. I asked him at my appointment yesterday, and he said it is swelling that is normal 6 weeks post tummy tuck.

Answer: Could be a seroma
What you are describing could be a seroma which is a fluid collection. Seromas are common for this operation and rarely cause any problems. Not all seromas need to be drained. It depends on the size or amount of fluid and wether it will effect your outcome. When your surgeon examines you he should be able to determine if it is a fluid collection or something else.
