I had seroma about 2 weeks after my tt, my drain was taken out too early before draining under 25cc. I've been aspirated twice and the last time nothing came out. They say I don't have it anymore but I still have tht "waterbed" feeling when I touch my lower stomach. A month later I been having stabbing pains along my incision, is it a seroma complication? I also developed a pouch because of the seroma will my belly eventually flatten out over time n massage treatments or am I stuck with this forever?

Answer: Seroma Drainage and Abdominal Wall Skin Retraction?
Thank you for your post. Seromas can be painful and cause a cosmetic deformity, as well as sometimes leak. The whole point of drains is to keep a seroma from happening in the first place. If a drainless procedure was performed, and you had a seroma, or you had drains that were pulled and you...
I would make sure you are cleared by your medical doctor before getting any surgery. If he/she is okay with it, then you can probably proceed with your tummy tuck.
