Is the swelling around my belly button 10 days post tummy tuck a seroma or normal swelling?

May 23, 2014
Asked By:happymom3

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 =(
