17 Days PO I went to my PS to have my seroma drained. He actually had to drain two spots. It didn't hurt, however I do have a high tolerance for pain. He wasn't very concerned/worried. He informed me that it was very common. He said after lipo the scar tissue has to reattach itself and until then there is a space. The fluid will dwell there until the space closes. He drained 20ccs from my pubis area and another 25ccs from the area above my navel. He told me that I didnt have to come back because the body will handle it. He also told me that I can come back at anytime to have it drained once it builds back up. He was kinda great watching him suck it out bc the area above my navel became so flat and I could see abs. All is well and I am very happy about it.

Awesome results!
Your results look fantastic.. I know you are very pleased. The seroma can be dealt with ... Just a pain tho.. Stay positive
I got my drains out at 7 days post-op and 4 days later noticed my seroma. It was a little uncomfortable having it drained, but it's not terrible. Why doctor drained it (tons of fluid) and then injected something into it to coax the seroma to close up. He told me I would have to come back once a week for several weeks and that is typical protocol. Surprisingly, 5 days later, it's not huge. My appointment is for Tuesday and I'm hoping they will let me come in tomorrow instead. Let me know how you are doing.

PO Day 13 I just left my PS office. I received a smoothing treatment. It felt really good! It was a machine that "massaged" the my swollen areas. It was like a massager/vaccum suction contraption!! lol I l really really liked it!!! It did get intense in my very sore areas, but after going over the soreness a couple of times it began to feel better.
