CLAIM YOUR PROFILESeroma is not a contraindication.
Green colour of seroma raises the doubt about infection with pseudomonas bugs. One has to be very careful of replacing expander with implants in presence of infection. Obviously, every case needs to be treated in own its merit and I myself have replaced implants in cases with suspected infection. Culture of seroma of fluid may help towards postoperative antibiotics.

Hi
You do not need to do anything as most seroma resolve on their own without any intervention. If it is painful, then it would require aspiration ( draining) . It's best performed under ultrasound guidance as fluid sometimes is divided into different compartments in the seroma cavity ( loculation).
However, you must continue arm mobilisation ( as per postoperative physiotherapy protocol) as it may lead to frozen shoulder because of reduced arm activity.

I am 29 I have a 1 year old, I am a 36F - my boobs were saggy I opted for a lift no implants, I had a mastopexy breast lift surgery with Mr Haresh Devalia and Mr Mohsin Dani at KIMS hospital in Kent and I am so impressed with my results already; I paid £7943 - expensive for a lift but extremely impressed so far and the service I could not recommend more. Updated on 23 Nov 2021: Had my dressings changed today and it’s healing nicely. No pain, really happy with the results so far. Updated on 8 Jan 2022: 6 weeks post op and I love them feeling really happy the scarring isn’t even too bad.
