I am now 16 days post tt with lipo and no muscle repair. Drains are out. I'm definitely swollen but about 2-3" inches above my belly button when I just tap that area it jiggles like a water bed. Is that normal???

Answer: Post tummy tuck fluid? 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.

Answer: Fluid in belly after tummy tuck 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.
