extra fluid after tummy tuck

I had a tummy tuck about a year ago.. on one side of my belly is flat and the other is still very swollen also my belly button closes very fast ,I think is cause I'm so bloated on one side... my doctor advice me to get a lipo but I don't want to go thru another surgery .. I'm not happy i can't be without my garmet because It feels very uncomfortable..
My doctor advice me to place a small crystal ball to keep my belly button stretched but I'm not happy.. what should I do? thanks

Your surgeon is probably correct. the treatment of bulging of one side with lipo would be a relatively minor procedure that would hlep symmetry. At the same time, a revision of the scar around your belly button should be considered.
