I am 12 wpo. Today while I was working out, I forgot a good look in the mirror of how my belly still hangs when I am bent over. I know I am not going to be a super model, but this just seems like a bit much. I had a full TT w/ MR.

Unfortunately, lasix doesn't help much for swelling that is surgical in nature.  It would simply draw fluid from the intravascular space, leaving you dehydrated - but wouldn't do much for the swollen area.  So, keep with your current BP meds.  Follow up with your surgeon to make sure you do...

Thanks for your inquiry. I do not see a problem with a little deodorant in the armpits when there is no breasy surgery planned.  Do not use any body sprays or lotions on the skin of your abdomen, flanks, etc.  Good Luck.

The fluid from the tummy tuck is a seroma that occurs under the skin but above the abdominal muscles and not in any way communicating with the liver.  The ultrasound probably did not focus on the liver since it was done to diagnose the seroma.

Thanks for your inquiry and pictures.  Sutures do unfortunately "spit" for every surgeon and the deep sutures can feel like little lumps.  It is early still in your scar process which continues for years!  I suggest you discuss scar management strategies with your plastic surgeon.  Good Luck.
