I had a tummy tuck 6 weeks ago with muscle repair and lipo. The are below my belly button and pubic area is very swollen. My sides don't seem to be nearly as swollen. Is this normal? I'm worried I may have a seroma. I'm still wearing my compression garment and was told on the last visit I no longer need to. Should I still continue to wear it for the swelling?
