Seromas can form after any liposuction

There is some data out there that suggests that it may form more commonly after ultrasonic liposuction. if you feel that you have a seroma, do see your surgeon. aspiration may be helpful. as far as swelling, especially in the mons area, this may take a few more months to fully resolve. don't worry. the swelling there is quite normal.

Seromas after ultrasonic liposuction

If you have a seroma at three months after having ultrasonic liposuction, you should see your doctor. Sometimes aspiration helps, but others may need more formal drainage. Good luck
