Will excess fluid after tummy tuck go away on its own?

Asked By:Seashell_TX in Dallas, TX

Hello. I have fluid underneath my incision line (in my mons pubic area) from a TT that happened 3 weeks ago. It "waves" when pressed and everything I've read indicates that is a seroma and needs to be drained. I went to see my ps about it today and she said she would rather not drain it and to let the body learn to absorb it as it is supposed to. She suggested wearing compression panties in addition to my binder to help compress that particular area. Will this actually resolve itself?
