I had a tummy tuck Lipo and breast lift 4 weeks ago. I developed a real small seroma 7cc on my left breast 7 days after surgery it is healing real good it's just a little bruised like a yellow greenish color .. Can I drink alcohol while this seroma is still present my PS said it was fine as long as I don't drink excessivly. And is the bruising normal my PS said as long as it yellowish that's a good sign.

Answer: Moderate consumption of alcohol has no effect on a postoperative seroma after abdominoplasty.
I'm sorry to hear about the complication you are experiencing. As you can imagine, no one ( including your own plastic surgeon) will be able to predict with any degree of accuracy exactly what the umbilicus will look like when complete healing has occurred. At this point, the important thing is...
I require my patients to keep their incisions taped for the first month. Each person heals differently so on occasion I may have a patient where some a little longer. Your surgeon has their own thoughts on this so make sure you stay in touch with your PS.
