How long does it take for a seroma to absorb?

I suggest asking your plastic surgeon this question as different surgeons have different post-op instructions. Your incisions must be completely closed and you shouldn’t have any drains. That being said, a basic guideline to follow is 3-4 weeks. Best regards.

I do not charge for consultations, but I understand why some surgeons charge. Having said that, I do not understand the statement "beware of free consultations." If you do your homework, it is fairly easy to ascertain those who are the class of plastic surgery and those who are the pretenders....

It is normal to have swelling after a tummy tuck and/or lipo. That being said, it is important to eat a balanced diet which may very well include bread.

Yes a type 2 diabetic can get a tummy tuck but it is really important that there patient's blood sugars are in good control and that the surgeon is less aggressive with the "pulling..."

These scars look perfectly normal for this relatively short amount of time to have elapsed since surgery.

Keep in mind that you are considering surgery on your body and that you often get what you pay for. I suspect that you will have a hard time finding a board certified plastic surgeon able to accommodate you.
