Could this be a seroma?

Asked By:mcheretic in East Hampton, NY

I had a tummy tuck in Jan 2010. When drains were removed I felt they should have stayed in longer. My abdomen got red and started to puff up. I could swear that I was still 'draining' inside me. I went for a few followup visits and mentioned this and she said there was nothing abnormal and what I am feeling is nothing she did. Now 5 years later my abdomen is still round, like I am pregnant. It hurts, pulls, weak muscles. I have had scans, blood, but no relief. Wh can diagnose and give relief?
