1 week post Lipo and TT. When I woke up today it was moving like water waves around my incision. Is this normal?

It's not possible to rule out concerns from just your description. An area that "moves like waves" could indicate a seroma which needs to be evaluated by your surgeon and potentially drained. Swelling is normal and expected after surgery and can last for several weeks. Flying that close after surgery does carry some risk. It's best to reach out to your surgeon for instruction.

Hello. Great question. Based on your description, it appears you have fluid collection. The fluid needs to be drained, if necessary, another drain may need to be placed.

Thank you for your question.It is likely a seroma, despite the use of drains and despite using the rule of 25-30cc or less per day for 2 consecutive day.It may resolve.  If not, it should be drained otherwise, it can heal with excessive internal organizational tissues (ie scar) and may distort the final outcome.Aspirating (draining) the seroma is a simple procedure yet you may need to do it a few times, 1-2 per week.I would continue to wear your compression garment.Finding someone around you willing to help may or may not be easy as many surgeons will recommend you to see your original surgeon and this demonstrate one of the issues with medical tourism.  But it is likely you can find a local plastic surgeon willing to help you for a fee.Hope this helps.Kind regards,Dr. Marc DuPéré, aesthetic plastic surgeon
