Had to redo the entire tummy tuck abd muscle repair with a new surgeon I was told to wait a year from Dr. Ds office before they would even consider a revision. Another 11,000 later I finally have optimal amazing results. My entire abdomen had seroma capsule abd ny surgeon said it was the largest he ever removed.

Update 6months post surgery
I have had my six month follow up It appears my seroma has resolved. I do have excess fat and skin on my abdomen and dog ears. The dog ears alter my appearance in clothes abd look horrible when naked and sitting. Im not sure if additional lipo will increase the looseness help my skin retract. I was advised to wait a year for revisions.

How you know if you have a seroma?
Waterbed like effect when you poke yourself you can find videos on YouTube. Best diagnosis would be by ultrasound
ORIGINAL POST
Tummy Tuck 29 Year Old Female
I had a tummy tuck after multiple pregnancies to remove extra skin. I had my tummy tuck Dec 2nd in Boston. I was 162lbs the time of surgery I am 155lbs now. Overall I like my shape after and my results are coming along well. Healing has been a pain in the butt I developed a seroma which happens to be a common surgical complication no fault of mines or the surgeon. That has slowed down my healing abit more of a nusense than anything. I would say the recovery painwise was a breeze I had minimal bruising from flank and back lipo. I feel great physically. Mentally recovery is a mental game at times, you have to be patient. Overall I would give my review 5stars in every area I would like a bit more attentiveness and advice on post op care especially with the cosmetic surgical filed being so foreign to me

Did you have a drain?
Yes I had two for 1week
You look amazing! How long was your surgery? And how tall are you by chance? I'm about the same weight as you be im wondering if I'll look as great
Hey so my surgery was about 3hrs of that. I’m 5’5 and recovery as I said was a breeze its just the seroma slowing me down a little
I nursed my (now ex) wife through her mommy Makeover and she developed a seroma too.
May I respectfully ask how soon after your TTucK was the seroma discovered?
How was your seroma treated? Fine needle aspiration?
Was the seroma treated by the surgeon or by an interventional radiologist?
Thank you.
Originally by the surgeon then I followed up with Interventional radiology so I can have guided needle aspiration. At one point we tried replacing the drains and nothing would drain from the upper abdomen seroma the drain was placed at my pubic line.
do you mind saying how much you paid for the procedure? I've gone to him for a BBL and it was a great experience hopefully I can afford a mommy makeover with him!
$11,100.00
