I'm two weeks out tomorrow from FDTT and I have swelling which i know is normal but on the right side the swelling is way more severe.  I was just wondering if this is normal?  What does a seroma look like?  I'm kinda concerned because the drain for the right side was taken out at one week so i'm worried that this is why i have more swelling on the right side.  It is so hard packed swollen on that side that it hurts steady and even when i wake up in the morning it is still swollen.

Not sure what your abreviation stand for, never seen that one.  Swelling, buldging and pain can be a seroma.  It is easy to drain with a syringe.  Do you see your surgeon for a 2 week follow up?  If not, I'd call and make an appointment.

Actually i forgot the L I had a Fleur de lis tummy tuck.  The  swelling seems like it might be a seroma i see my doctor in town tomorrow not my ps though she is in Toronto i'm in Thunder Bay.  My doctor here is a surgeon though so he can probably drain it.  Does it hurt?  How much fluid do they take out.  I would feel pretty
good except for this swelling.

Thanks for your reply
