Seroma/fluid after tummy tuck. Will it cause my apron to come back?

These seromas are extremely common in abdominoplasties (tummy tuck), and their treatment is simple and straightforward: puncture and evacuation with syringe, not a big deal, painless and office-based.Do consult asap with your surgeon and he will know best when it is the right moment to carry out the drainage.

Seromas are seen occasionally after tummy tucks, and if they're managed properly they really don't cause long-term problems. Getting significant loose skin is unlikely if the fluid is removed until the seroma resolves.

do occur with regularity.  If managed in traditional methods (serial aspirations should hopefully do the trick for you), it will not stretch you out as you may fear.  But your fluid must be addressed and not simply left there to impair your healing.  You should be discussing this with your surgeon and anticipate getting at least weekly visits for aspirations until this is resolved.
