Answer: Fluid after tummy tuck You should find a plastic surgeon to evaluate you, drain the collected fluid if appropriate and follow you to be sure it doesn't re occur. The doctors who work in an emergency room will not be able to do that and will likely refer you to a plastic surgeon.

Answer: Plastic surgery complications should be taken care of by plastic surgeons The Emergency Room is not the place to have the complications of your tummy tuck addressed. You need to find a plastic surgeon. If you had your surgery out of the country in order to save money then you are going to have to go to the University Hospital Plastic Surgery Department and hope that they will take care of you.

Answer: Can I go to an emergency room to remove the rest of the liquid? In my opinion, this is not the best option. I worry about issues such as experience, sterility ( infection concerns) in an emergency room environment, and follow-up concerns. Remember, that several episodes of aspiration of a seroma may be necessary before it dissipates completely. Best to establish a relationship with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area if possible. Best wishes.

Answer: Can I go to an emergency room to remove the rest of the liquid? This is not a good idea. It sounds like you are having seroma - not unusual occurence after tummy tuck. This is not an emergency and is also beyond the scope of their practice. Even if you go to ER most likely you will be referred to a plastic surgeon. Dealing with seroma requires special training and experience. Your best option is to seek a consultation and treatment by a plastic surgery specialist. Good luck.
