Very large seroma? (photo)

I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair 2 weeks and 3 days ago. I can see and feel a large seroma that starts at the bottom of my rib cage and extends to below my incision. My plastic surgeon is out of town. I saw his colleague (not a PS) last week and he was unable to find the pocket of fluid to extract anything. I'm worried because the seroma keeps getting larger each day. Is such a large seroma bad? Should I go back to the non-PS? I don't know what to do.
