No navel infection

Ok so the ER doctor was wrong. I went to a plastic surgeon and he informed me that I do not have a navel infection but my sutures were in too long and needed to be removed. He removed them and just told me to put gauze in my navel for a couple of days while it heals He did mention that my TT scars were healing nicely and stated Yily did an excellent TT on me. I am healing slowly but surely. Still swollen and am very uncomfortable without my garment on. Cant really clean my house which is annoying. Still depressed cause I lost my job. Overall I'm still highly blessed and favored and still loving my results. Oh yea please sent prayers up for one of Yily's patients. She is dealing with a pulmonary embolism. It comes from having surgery then flying. Please ladies take all necessary precautions like your shots Yily gives you as well as buy some really good compression socks also stay in DR or where ever you go as long as you can so your body can heal. I should have stayed longer myself. I'm not saying she did not do this but just be careful and take all necessary precautions.

Hello ladies, hope everyone is well.i have been having a heck of a time. This tummy tuck is taking its own sweet time to heal. I was afraid I had a seroma or worse so I went to the emergency room this morning. Good news no seroma but I do have a navel infection. Sorry I havent posted pics but even though Im loving my results, Im ready to feel better.

I have a seroma! Help!

I have a seroma below my belly button. I am pretty sure it is a seroma because my tummy is swollen down to my mons and when I push on my mons I can feel the fluid go up to my belly. I have no idea what to do. My insurance is running out the end of this month. If I go to the emergency room, I'm not sure a doctor will know how to drain it. Is there anyway to dissolve a seroma without having to go to a doctor? drinking extra fluids? taking an anti-inflam drug like aleve? Yily sucks at follow up so I am at a loss as what to do.
