Hello Zee98.Thank you for your question.It's not common, but a seroma after tummy tuck surgery can form a capsule of scar tissue. Once the capsule forms, it typically requires surgery to completely eradicate. You didn't give very much information, so I suppose this is the answer to your question.Sometimes a capsule around a seroma is also called a pseudobursa. Seromas are risks of body contouring surgery and the best way to reduce these from becoming a problem is to use a drain during surgery. Best wishes. Dr. ALDO
A capsule might develop if you have a chronic seroma under neath the skin flap. If this occurs, then the capsule has to be removed so the abdomen can be flat.
