Recurrent Seromas 3 Weeks After Vaser High Def Liposuction

I had Vaser High Def Lipo on my upper/lower abs and flanks 3 weeks ago. I began developing seromas two weeks after my surgery (a week after the drain was removed). I have had needle aspiration done 6 times and have been wearing my compression garments day and night. My question is: on average, how long do seromas last and will cardiovascular activity (elliptical trainer) be helpful or harmful in regard to seromas?

Recurrent Seromas after VASER Hi Def Liposuction

This suggests to me that either I am a better surgeon than yours (not likely) or that my patients in Memphis are more compliant with surgeon... more
