My seroma is at the top of my stomach near the center of my rib cage. Is this normal?

You should see your plastic surgeon for a post op check up. Until then keep wearing your compression garment. It could just be swelling but you would have to consult with your surgeon.#tummytuck#TT#tummytuckpostop

While gravity dictates that most seromas are in the dependent portion of the surgical site ie the lower abdomen around the incision, it is not uncommon to have an isolated fluid collection above the umbilicus.  If the seroma is small, you can watch it conservatively, but if it is significant, it may require drainage.  I would have your plastic surgeon evaluate the area sooner rather than later to determine the most prudent course of action.  Best of luck

 Some puffiness can occur at the top of the rib cage which is the point at which muscle plication stops. This creates some skin excess which could be interpreted as a seroma. Sometimes a seroma can occur in this area. It is best that you sort this out with your plastic surgeon. A seroma can be drained, puffiness can be diminished  with some liposuction or thermae tight after the initial inflammation and swelling occurs, usually after several months.
