Seroma Pocket / Swelling - Will I need a mini Tummy Tuck or can Liposuction fix it? (photos)

Asked By:Affectionate123893 in Virginia Beach, Virginia

I've had a Tummy Tuck 1yr and 3 months ago. I developed a seroma that had to be drained and the Dr had to open my incision but didn't insert a drain. Since then I have had a bulge across my incision on my lower abdomen that swells. Since the belly button is placed permanently, this bulge measurement is longer/bigger than the distance between my belly button and the incision, meaning there is skin and fat left in this area. Will I need a mini TT or lipo can fix it?
