Could I have a Pseudobursa? (Photos)

kamarijr1
So I'm 3 months post op tummy tuck, I'm almost certain that I have pseudobursa I was drained for seroma at least 5 times I still have a bulge above my belly button that won't go down completely it's tender to touch I wear 2 binders with a board . I know that surgery has to be done to remove the pseudobursa, but should this surgery be done asap? Also is it safe to exercise? Because it seems to get bigger when I exercise. My PS said initially that it was swelling, but only 5cc's were drained 5 weeks ago
