Scar Tissue vs Recurrent Seroma
You may still have a seroma if it is very swollen to the point that you cannot bend you knee. Hardness can be due to scar tissue however a tense seroma can also feel hard as well. Best thing to do is to visit with your plastic surgeon again and have him insert a needle into the area to assure there is no seroma.
