Is jiggling skin after a tummy tuck normal?

Without photos is it impossible to say. Please see your chosen surgeon for an assessment. Best of luck.

From your description, it sounds as if you have a collection of fluid beneath the skin called a "seroma". Notify your surgeon in order for them to evaluate you and address this.

Hello, if you have noticed your tummy jiggles like a water bed it might be a sign that there is a fluid collection. You would need a proper examination (and possibly an ultrasound or other test)  to determine if there is actually fluid present.  

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent tummy tuck.  Based on your narrative it appears that you have developed a seroma.  This is a discrete fluid collection that can develop between your skin and muscle after a tummy tuck.  The rationale for placement of drains, small seromas can be absorbed by the body, while larger seromas may require drainage by your surgeon in their office.  I would recommend you see your surgeon for an in-person assessment and treatment of any fluid collections identified.  

You should relay your concern to your primary surgeon and present for an evaluation.  From your description it sounds like you might have a seroma which is a collection of fluid.  Depending on the size, this can be managed by watchful waiting or can be percutaneously aspirated with a needle in the office.      

Thank you for the question.  Your description of swelling that "jiggles like a waterbed" is classic for seroma. A seroma is a pocket of fluid buildup which sometimes develop after surgery. Continue with your compression garment and follow-up with your plastic surgeon.  This may require percutaneous drainage, which can be done in the office. Best of luck.

Although direct examination will be needed to make the diagnosis, your description of "water bed" is indicative for seroma.  You should wear the compression garment/binder and contact your plastic surgeon to be evaluated.Best regards.

It is quite possible that you have a fluid collection above your belly button especially if you are experiencing a fluid wave as you are describing. You should follow up with your plastic surgeon as soon as possible so that the fluid can be removed. Typically  a needle is placed through the skin after the area is numbed and the fluid is drawn out. Compression is placed afterwards. Typically this treats the problem. Good luck.

Congratulations on having the tummy tuck procedure. Your  description is consistent with the presence of a seroma.  If this is the case, aspiration(s) of the seroma will be necessary; be careful that this is not become a chronic situation or secondarily infected.  Follow-up with your plastic surgeon, earlier than already scheduled if necessary, or an accurate assessment and treatment. Best wishes.

From your description, you most likely have a seroma. This is not uncommon and it varies in occurrence from 2-40%. I recommend having it checked out by your surgeon ASAP.
