Answer: Tummy Tuck and Seroma Hi dmerit, You can test to see if you have a seroma. Stand in front of a mirror and tap on one side. If you see a wave like the waves of the ocean you have a seroma. Keep wearing your binder! Usually this takes care of the problem and the seroma will eventually go away by itself. If you prefer, your physician can drain the seroma. I suggest seeking your physician's opinion. All of the best to you!#seroma #2weekspost-op
