What Can I Do About the Fluid After Tummy Tuck?

tacobell15
My stomach is still swollen, hard, and sore 2 months after Tummy Tuck surgery. The fluid has been removed 3 times. The doctor released me and said it would just take time for fluid to dissipate.I am concerned about the infection and wondering if the swelling will ever go down. It is also lopsided. What can I do to get the water out and the knots along the scar? Please help.
