I had a tummy tuck with lipo 4 wks ago in Monterrey, Mexico. Great Dr. But have one small problem I developed fluid 2 wks ago and went to my family practice dr. He said I looked great and did not drain the fluid out. He said my own body would observe it. I still feel some fluid near my incision but also feel it getting hard. I wanted to get a second opinion from a surgeon but i've called a few surgeons around my area and no one wants to see me. What should I do?

Hi i wanted to contact you to see if you've gone through with your tummy tuck. I am currently working with this Dr's office to schedule my procedures as well! The only reason i am a little worried is because i have yet to see any before and after pics. There arent any posted on their website.

So I couldn’t drain the seroma drs said it would go away but it never did now I have scar tissue in that area. You can’t tell it’s there but I can feel it.

Hi sorry for the late response everything went well besides the pain lol I stayed in Monterrey for 2weeks. After surgery everything went well I have friends in Monterrey so I stayed with them and they took care of me. Like I said besides the pain everything was good. Yes go for it I loved the staff he's a great Dr. and as long as you have someone helping you you should be ok. It's been a year and I'm so happy with my results I love my stomach. He did a great job! Let me know how it goes good luck!
Welcome to the community. Follow back up with your doctor and see if he can either drain this or recommend a doctor who will. Keep a close eye on it. I have heard this comment from a few, that doctors don't want to touch what other doctors have done from outside the US.
Not a problem at all, glad you are doing well.
