Bad case of seroma. Should I have it drained, or wait for my next appointment in Sept? (Photo)

Asked By:57welcome in Waterbury, CT

I had a Tummy Tuck on April 18th, the Dr didn't insert drains in me after surgery. Every visit I've had with him he would say it will go away. It's been 3 1/2 months and I've been wearing my medical girdles 24/7 and it's not getting any better. At end of the day I feel very blooded in the upper and lower of my incision and very tight that my incision hurts. My next appt is not until September. What should I do? Do I wait or call him to request to have this drained?
