Was Told Seroma After Liposuction Will Take a Year to Reabsorbing, Should it be Aspirated?

September 9, 2011
Asked By:proudlypresents in San Francisco, CA

1 week ago I received liposuction of the inner thigh and knees. This is my second time around as I had the procedure done 7 years ago. New doctor said there was alot of scar tissue when he went in. Anyhow, I am still very swollen; the pressure is very painful, particularly around my knees. I went in for a follow up he said it was a collection of blood trapped, and that this would take a year to reabsorb. Should I ask for it be to be aspirated? Knees are 2x size than they were before procedure.
