Bulge/muffin top after a tummy tuck, will this go away? (Photos)

HBP
Hi I am 8 weeks post op from full tummy tuck. After 2 weeks I got quite a big seroma and had to wear additional compression. I have now got a bulge above my belly button look a bit like a muffin top. When I lay flat or on my side it’s completely flat but when I sit down or stand it protrudes. My surgeon says it will go in time but I am not convinced. I wanted a second opinion please.
