I got a TT over 10 years ago. My question is I feel and can see there is still fluid, like edema. My doctor that did my procedure would put a needle in there and suck out the blood and fluid. He has since retired. What are my options? I am in great shape but this is annoying. Any suggestions you can offer me
Answer: Persistent Swelling and Fluid Retention 10 Years Post Tummy Tuck: What Are the Options? It's not common to experience swelling and fluid retention ten years after a tummy tuck, but I understand your concerns. First and foremost, I recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your condition and provide the most appropriate recommendations based on their assessment.

Answer: Tummy tuck Fluid still present ten years after a tummy tuck would be rare. I would suggest finding another surgeon to see you and get an ultrasound to check for fluid. You may have an organized seroma which will need to be removed surgically.
