How many times will my seroma reappear? (photos)

Hello.
Great question. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. There is not set number of times a seroma recurs. We hope it does not happen often. The only way to avoid it is by properly following your surgeon's post op instructions. Please follow up with your surgeon for further evaluation. Best of luck.

Thank you for your questions and sorry to hear you are still having problems. Seromas can be difficult to deal with and if they do not resolve with aspiration, you might have to have a drain placed. Stay in touch with your surgeon and follow his or her recommendations.Best of luck!Dallas R. Buchanan, MD, FACSOwner & Board-Certified Plastic SurgeonVIVIFY plastic surgery

Thank you for sharing your excellent question and photograph and I am sorry to hear of your seroma issues.  Unfortunately there is no exact number of times it takes to resolve a seroma as larger ones tend to require more aspirations than smaller ones.  What one should follow is the amount of fluid removed with each treatment, as each session should remove less and less.  Continue to wear your compression garment 24/7 and see your surgeon each time you feel the seroma as reaccumulated.  Best wishes.
