I can feel Water/fluid inside my tummy around my tummy tuck scar and above? How can I get rid of it and is it normal?

It looks as though you have a seroma of the abdomen. If this is the case it should be aspirated by your surgeon in the office. This may need to be done several times before resolution is complete. The fact massage does not improve healing and can be damaging to the tissues if done to vigorously.

Hello,
Thank you for your question. Edema or fluids accumulate more in the lower abdomen with gravity and you do not  have to panic. if it is seroma , can be drained in a very simple way. I hope you will get better soon. 
Best Regards.

crazyu. I appreciate your concern and physical examination should be performed because you may have fluid accumulation called seroma. This can occur after Tummytuck surgery and is treated by aspirating the fluid. See your plastic surgeon as soon as possible for a full evaluation. Good luck.

Dear crazysu,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank you for sharing your excellent question and photographs.  If there is a discrete fluid collection that can be felt or seen then the best treatment is typically to have it drained by your surgeon with a needle and syringe in the office.  If the fluid sound is related more to tissue swelling, then this typically resolves spontaneously given enough time.  Hope this helps.

I recommend you visit your PS for a proper exam you might need to be drained continue to wear your compression garment.Best wishes.

Looks like you may have a little fluid collection (seroma). These happen & does not usually affect results as long as it is dealt with appropriately. These can usually be aspirated with needle & syringe. May need to be done more than once & occasionally drained by small opening. Compression will be a key part of preventing recurrence. A little bump in the road on the way to enjoying your wonderful results.

You may have a fluid collection under skin that is known as a seroma, a common complication. It may need to be drained. If stays long enough it may forms scar lining that may require surgical removal. A followup is needed.

Hi crazysu,Thank you for your question and pictures. Fluid is normal after a procedure like this but I do recommend scheduling a post op appointment with your surgeon. It is hard to tell in a picture how much fluid is in your abdomen as in person appointment is always best.Best of luck!

Hello,Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.
Following the recommendations of your surgeon is very important. The recovery takes around 4 to 6 weeks, you must perform lymphatic drainage massages, for me more, and you can continue your normal activities, perform light exercises, then increase the routine without any problem
the total recovery of the procedure takes from 6 months to a year, it is advisable to wait 6 months between each surgery, to avoid risks, your surgery is very recent, have a lot of patience

I hope this answer will help youMy best wishes for you ...
