After Slim Lipo, Seroma Aspirated but Now Back and Hard? (photo)

10 wks. ago I had abdominal smart lipo and surgeon wanted seroma/swelling handled by lymphatic massage. 3 wks later he aspirated seroma and all seemed well. Now while traveling it returned but this time hard and feels like my abdomen is turning to concrete and spreading. Exercise very painful. I am scared, confused, away from home. What should I do? What kind of doctor do I look for? Am in Santa Cruz for 2 weeks then Ithaca before home.

Thank you for the picture. It is hard to say without a physical exam, but a likely explanation is that the seroma has recurred and will require another aspiration. It is always best to have your original surgeon treat you, since he or she will have the best understanding of your overall situation. If this is not possible find a board certified plastic surgeon who can help you.
