post-op care

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a transformative procedure that enhances body contour and boosts confidence. However, like any major surgery, minor post-operative issues can arise, with seroma being one of the most common. Seroma occurs when fluid accumulates in the surgical area due to disrupted lymphatic flow. While typically harmless, proper prevention and management—such as compression garments, balanced activity, and drain care—are essential for a smooth recovery. Learn how to minimize risks and handle seroma effectively for optimal healing.
