Asked By:Lily2013 in Murrieta, California

Two months ago I noticed that I had fluid above my tummy tuck incision line. I have had 4 aspirations and it feels like my tummy where the seroma is located is getting more firm and the area is tight. I have no pain. The next procedure is putting a medication inside the area where the seroma is and a drain tube. Is it recommended that I have surgery either way? And with the surgery need to be completed by a regular surgeon or a plastic surgeon? I cannot return to my plastic surgeon. Too far
