Posted under Mini Tummy Tuck q&a

Seroma or Scar Tissue?

plasticbeauty
I had a small seroma after a mini tummy tuck. I got it drained until he could not pull anymore fluid out. There area is still puffy and is not starting to harden and my tummy looks worse because I did not have this bulge or lump before hand. I do not know what to do. My surgery was 5/2/12.
