I had a full tummy tuck on 14 Jan ,19 no drains or tightening. Bad reaction to the anaesthesia & ended up vomiting violently and loosening my stitches which caused some blood loss. I developed a seroma which the PS has been draining twice a week for 6 weeks. I have had a bulge since bandage removal. PS said it was the seroma and swelling but now the bulge has hardened and it is uncomfortable. PS seems confused and has no answers or plan. My tummy looks worse than before the TT. Is this a PB?
