Hello, today I went in for a appointment with my surgeon I was seen for swelling on my stomach after tummy tuck. It has been 6 weeks since my surgery and I am experiencing swelling the Dr clearly told me I do not have seroma (fluid collection under the skin) he said I have Edema witch is fluid collection under my muscle ? He said to not worry about it and that it will go away with time. Should I be concerned ? Is this normal ? Would it go away ?
