I had my Surgery on 7/30/13. Its been exactly 1 month today. Last week I started noticing a fluid like feeling in my right breast when I was massaging it & ever since then it has not gone away. My PS has not diagnosed me as having a seroma but from the blogs & symptoms I have read, I sense that it is a seroma. If it is, Is it normal to have a seroma after 3 wks post op? Do I need to get it drained? if not, how long does it take to get absorbed? & What can I do to prevent further irritation?

Typically I recommend to patients an increase or decrease of at least 100-150 cc depending on the pt's size. You are very petite and should see a definite difference with a volume change starting at 75-100cc's. Good luck and choose your surgeon wisely.

I would share this photograph with your own plastic surgeon. In general allergies to adhesives are treated with steroids and avoidance of those adhesives.
