Recurring seroma after tummy tuck and catastrophic dehiscence
maisiemaisieOct 6, 2024
Tummy tuck Jan. ‘24. 4 wks later, 7.5” of incision burst open. Since then, large seroma has reduced fr 40-60ccs/day to 7ccs/day, then restarted @ 40-60ccs/day. Now on 3rd instance, very bloody, increasing vol. 30 aspirations so far. U/S and CT scan show nothing. Doctor says other MDs haven’t seen & nothing relevant in med lit. Now saying IR-inserted drain, then sclerosing, then surgery. Cases like mine? Advice re treatment? Long-term harm possib? MD wrong in lack of urgency and treatment?
