Four years ago I had a tummy tuck with Lipo. I had a seroma develop just above my navel and below my sternum.
Fluid drained out the area hardened and never went away. Now the area is so painful that I cannot bend forward. I can no longer do sit ups as it feels as though my abdominal tissue is tearing. I have to sit back at an angle to be comfortable.
Today I went to see a surgeon and he told me that NOTHING could be done except anti-inflammatory or have my Primary doctor send me to a pain specialist.
The area now is about the size of a tennis ball and the dr. said my CT scan showed "adhesions & inflammation".
I find it hard to believe that there is Nothing that can be done to fix this area. I dont want or like to take medicine. I refuse to settle for a lifetime of pills. Can anyone out there fix this?
Has anyone every developed a tennis ball size "hardened area after a seroma? If so.... could it be fixed?
Provider Review
She was caring prior to the surgery. Once there was complications she wasnt interested and left me in waiting room sometimes for hours. Very unprofessional. She is now practicing somewhere in florida.
