Asked By:UKmumtum in United Kingdom, GB

I am 9 weeks post op, I have developed swelling, to stomach area and on one side where my flank lipo was? At 5-6 weeks post op my stomach was totally flat with clearly defined slim waistline, I started to do gentle excersise (squats and walking) not sure if this has caused the problem ?tummy feels very bloated, taught and swollen? I had a seroma drained at 3 weeks post op. I am concerned that I may need revision or that the surgeon hasnt stitched muscles enough?
