I had a hyperthrophy scar revision under my breast n back and a full TT 4 months ago. Same night, I had blood leaking for hours in my back. Doctor removed the blood clot, my breast turned black! My top stomach was bulged. He treated me for a seratoma for 3 weeks after drains were removed, twice a week for aspiration.
