What is This Hard Bulge after Tummy Tuck Surgery?

User Avatar
California Girl
Hard Bulge 4 Weeks Post TT/MR-- on my Upper/ Lower Abdomen Above my Incision, Below (New) Belly Button. My surgeon was unable to aspirate fluid from my abdomen. He suggested that it may take more time. However, this is no small bulge and i have seen very little improvement since the day of the surgery. My stomach looks deformed and i'm freaking out a bit here. Need advice. My stomach looks huge compared to how it looked previously.
