Will my collection of fluid in my lower back after back lipo for my BBL resolve itself with time? (photo)

Hi
Thanks for your question and sorry you're having this concern.
It sounds like you have a seroma which can be managed by aspiration and compression so it doesn't become chronic and unresolving which may then require excision. I would see a PS soon for evaluation and treatment.
I hope this helps.....

What you have is a seroma. Seromas are more common when aggressive liposuction is carried out, which is the case in a BBL. Seromas most commonly occur around day #14 after surgery. They can resolve on their own in a timely fashion if they are very small. You need very tight compression in that area, stay away from salty food and alcohol, and  limit fluid intake. If my patients develop a seroma, I recommend  drainage in a timely fashion as seromas can  get infected. If left untreated seromas can also lead to capsule formation - your body creates a wall around the fluid collection - leading to scar tissue or fullness from the thickness of the capsule or rind. If you can find a PS in your area to drain this, the  average  charge for them to see you  is ~$250-$300.
