I had a tummy tuck 10 weeks ago and sometimes have a bulge near my belly button, made woese after excerise, its ok of a morning but get sore as the day goes on, not painful but tender to press on sometimes. Is this still fluid or swelling or something I should be concerned about. Thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your history.
Tummy Tuck surgery is a good aesthetic surgery.
The most probable cause can be as you have rightly thought is collection of fluid called as seroma. Another cause if possibly a development of hernia.
The best way to get a diagnosis is to undergo high resolution ultrasonography- aspiration if seroma as a diagnosis and therapeutic procedure followed by tight bandage.
Get operated it this is a hernia.
