2 weeks post op with some leaking from my tummy tuck incision. Is this normal?

Asked By:kpayne821 in Virginia Beach, VA

I had a TT with muscle repair 2 weeks ago. On day 10 PO I had my 2 drains removed. The last couple of days I have noticed small stains in my undies, I assume it's my incision leaking. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about? Also I have noticed a "wave" when I push on my stomach, I assume I'm developing seroma. Is this something that has to be drained or is it something my doctor can monitor to see if it's gets worse? I have another f/u appt Tuesday.
