Posted under Tummy Tuck q&a

What is this at the end of my tummy tuck scar? Do I have swelling or seroma on my right side and above my belly button? (Photos)

Nevergiveupp
I had my full Tummy Tuck with muscle repair on June 6th so almost 7 weeks post op. After I workout and at night I notice my stomach swelling up on right side & above my belly button. I also noticed my left side feels great and doesn't swell up but it has this strange nipple looking thing at the end of my scar. What is this? I don't see my surgeon until the end of August should I make an appointment sooner than that?
