Recurrent hematoma after a lumpectomy
You need to contact your breast surgeon ASAP regarding your recurrent hematoma. They will need to treat this expeditiously and a drain should be placed following the procedure (though it won't necessarily prevent this or a seroma 100% fo the time).

Recurrent Hematoma After Lumpectomy
It seems that you have recurrent hematoma. With a small size hematoma, your body may be able to reabsorb it. However, with a large hematoma that is expanding or giving you discomfort, you need to have it re-evacuated soon. Please see your breast surgeon.

Hematoma After Lumpectomy
Please see your breast or general surgeon. A recurrent hematoma that is causing pain warrants medical attention as soon as possible.

Two recurrent breast hematomas
It may not necessarily mean that it has recurred and may be more indicative of a seroma. Alternatively, if you have a repeated tendency for hemoma, you may want to consider a hematologic evaulation.

It seems that you may have had another hematoma after your breast surgery.
You should contact your surgeon immediately to be re-evaluated and advised accordingly.

Hematoma and breast lumpectomy
A hematoma can occur with any surgery. If you have had it drianed once, but it has come back, I suggest you contact your surgeon to be evaluated for possible re-drainage.

Hematoma after breast surgery
Hematoma can and do occur after breast surgery; unfortunately, they can reoccur after drainage. The safest thing for you is to see the surgeon who performed your surgery as soon as possible.
