Seroma After Hernia and Diastasis Repair

Sometimes they go away after a few aspirations but sometimes they require opening it up and maybe putting in some quilting sutures to obliterate the dead space.as long as you are afebrile all should be well.

Seromas are occasional complications after abdominoplasty and are usually dealth with by serial aspirations in the office.  If they don't resolve in a few weeks, a chronic capsule can form that may require surgical excision if the problem is to be definitely solved.

Once a seroma develops, it should generally be treated until it resolves. This can take a weeks or sometimes several months in certail individuals. The scar tissue that forms around a seroma can also be very tight and because of the delay in healing due to the fluid, it can delay healing in this area and remain firm when the rest of your abdomen feels healed and soft. Generally speaking, it does resolve and slowly return to normal.
