What can I do to make the small amount of fluid built up absorb into my body faster after tummy tuck?

If think you are forming a seroma, you should contact your surgeon to see them sooner. Early drainage of your seroma can help. In my experience, wearing compression garments and minimizing your physical activity can also help with fluid build-up. You want to also watch your fluid intake. #tummytuck #recovery #seroma #healingaftertummytuck 

Wearing a binder and staying in bed will most certainly help.  However, you must make sure that the wounds are healed well enough for compression.

Thank
you very much for your question. If in
fact you feel like you are forming a seroma, you should contact your operating
plastic surgeon as soon as possible, and be seen in-person for an examination. However, limiting the amount of sodium intake
in your diet will surely help your situation, as will wearing a compression garment
24 hours a day.
