My experienced, board certified PS says she's never encountered this before.  Pooched out all along the incision line.  She says it is not a sernoma.  First said it was lymphatic drainage build up now says more surgery likely.  I am heartsick. Has anyone encountered this type swelling or whatever it is after their TT?  See how its flat below then fat above?  I am worried if she just does lipo, will that leave loose skin and not give me the flatness I wanted.  And of course I have to wait before I can do more surgery so I have to go around looking like this after a tummy tuck surgery!
