Why is one side of my belly bigger? (Photo)

Thanks for reaching out and sharing photos. As mentioned in a previous answer, every patient heals differently. I have had patient get their drain removed and need to have excess fluid removed multiple times, and some have no issues at all. The good news is that your surgeon is on top of it and you seem to be in good hands. Keep up with the follow ups until your concerns are at ease. best of luck! Dr. Kachenmeister

There can be several reasons why you are experiencing recurrent seromas, this fluid accumulation. Without knowing anything about your medical history, course, drain usage and time in, etc. a more specific answer is impossible to provide. However, when managed appropriately and aggressively, these will ultimately resolve and the swelling abate. Any questions that you have regarding this you should ask of your surgeon who knows you and your history.Steven Turkeltaub, MD
