multiple pockets, when they agressively operate and this seroma can develop in
any surgery but with the tummy tuck there was so much removal of skin etc that
the healing process created drainage, my drains were removed at 4weeks about
three days post removal they immediatly started to fill with fluid, i'm four
months out now and with increase activity this week have started to redevelop
symptoms, ie, you feel like your pregnant there is swelling in the area plus the
tissue has started to swell and with this post op i've developed scar tissue.
I'm scheduled for a revision in August and being in Canada lucky its all been
covered for me so much i've read isnt' for other poor pts.

Hope this explains.
