its not a huge amount of swelling, but it is noticeable. its a bit of swelling horizontally across my belly button, probably an inch or less in length. just wondering if this is normal. my drains were removed already, so im hoping not to have a seroma. the last few nights i have sneezed and coughed a few times and afterwards it felt like my muscles were trying to readjust, so im hoping this didnt do it. please help =(
Answer: Swelling after tummy tuck The swelling you describe is not uncommon at this stage. Seromas usually involve larger areas and have the feel of a fluid wave. Best to review with your surgeon.

Answer: Swollen belly button It's difficult to say why you have swelling around your belly button. The picture would be helpful. It is unlikely to be a seroma if it's just swelling around your belly button. I seroma fills up much like water in a bottle. It has height to it so your whole belly would probably be swollen to the level of the bellybutton if this were the case. Follow up with your plastic surgeon for an exam of the area.

Answer: Belly button swelling after tummy tuck Thank you for your question. It is very important that you be seen by your plastic surgeon for a proper answer to your question.That said swelling of the belly button is very common after tummy tuck surgery and can take several weeks to resolve. Seromas usually appear as a large full area that is obviously filled with fluid. Seroma within the belly button stalk itself is very unusual.
