Any suggestions for seroma in the pubic area?

Asked By:cookiemonster22 in New York, NY

Hi, I had liposuction on my stomach and pubic area in my hometown 3 weeks ago. I'm a 22 year old male. My doctor detected a seroma in the pubic area and has been suctioning it out everyday for a week. It started with over 50ml and now I'm at 10ml each time. However now I'm heading back to the city I now live and its far away from my doctor. He says I shouldn't worry because the seroma will naturally absorb. Should I still look for a doctor to take a look? I'm worried it will grow back. Thanks
