How should a Hematoma be treated 4 weeks Post-op? (photos)

Asked By:Joejula2 in Austin, TX

I had a mommy makeover on 2/19/2016 and immediately noticed the swelling in one area. I mentioned it two weeks post-op appt, and she said we would watch it. Today at my appt. I am 4 1/2 weeks into my recovery, and she tried to drain the fluid, but only blood came out. She said it was a Hematoma and I would need to be seen in two more weeks to see if my body would absorb it. Does this sound like the right treatment for a Hematoma?
