Numbness can last up to two years as the nerves repair themselves. Sometimes your numbness, from the umbilicus to the pubic area can be permanent. Large seromas can be aspirated by your doctor with a syringe. According to most surgeons, smaller seromas should be self correcting over time. But seromas are something you should definitely have checked by your physician. See what some doctors have to say about seromas here.
