Seroma or Swelling at 8 Weeks Post Op? (photo)

sb73
I am 8 weeks PO but have been wearing the binder for the past 6 weeks. I have started light cardio for 20 mins for the past 4 days.I look as if I am 3-4 months pregnant. My stomach feels numb, hard, and sometimes hurts. I am not sure if this is a seroma or just swelling that needs to go down more.Sometmes the swelling goes down a bit but then comes up again. Saw my PS a week ago and he says I don't have seroma, but I am still unsure.I tried to feel for a waterbed wave but only hardness. Help.
