I had my drains removed 25 days post tummy tuck. I have had 60cc fluid extracted by syringe one week after drain removal and 30cc extracted 10 days later. My question is after both extractions by syringe there is some remaining fluid I can feel/see when I push on my stomach. I do not feel the amount increases but it also has not went away. Is this normal? I feel great, I look great but I just have a feeling I should ask. I don't feel this is a lot of fluid.

If the hernias have been solidly repaired and have healed normally, you should be able to exercise and work on developing your "6-pack". Often, significant dietary efforts are needed to get slim enough for the muscle development to show up.
