The bottom of my tummy is like a waterbed after a tummy tuck, do I have a seroma? (photo)

Asked By:aytini

I had a tummy tuck with liposuction to various areas 2 weeks 1 day ago. I have recently noticed the bottom of my tummy is like a waterbed. You hit one side and the liquid waves across like a waterbed. I have seen a surgeon who poked it then had me in a half sit up position poke it again and say its fine no seroma just fluid. I'm so confused I thought a seroma was fluid? Will this go away on its own? I would just like to add i am very happy with the results of my tummy tuck! Thank you.
