Seroma or swelling that worsens as the day progresses?

February 26, 2016
Asked By:fcreja in New York, NY

I developed seroma post TT. I was being drained every other day for 2.5 weeks. The last time i barely got any fluid aspirated so my PS said i was all good. A week later i started to notice my stomach was bigger (at night). I could feel a little bit of fluid but nothing compared to when i had seroma. I'm now 7 weeks post op and at night i still have a way BIGGER stomach than in the morning (which is usually flat). I can't really show this to my PS because of his office hours.But is this normal?
