Seromas after breast reduction. Why am I producing so much fluid?

I am sorry to hear about the complications you have experienced after breast reduction surgery.

Seromas do occur and sometimes require several aspirations before they resolve. You will find that there is not necessarily a specific cause for seroma formation.

I would suggest continued follow-up with your plastic surgeon.

Best wishes for an otherwise uneventful recovery period.

Seromas can occur for unexplained reasons and may require prolonged treatment or resolve rather spontaneously. In either case they are usually managed by your surgeon. Stay in close contact.

Your post-op recovery is certainly unusual.  In most cases, patients do not require drainage of fluid after breast reduction.  Some surgeons leave drains in during surgery to collect the fluid if they think there will be excessive drainage.  In most cases, your body can absorb the fluid.  However, once fluid starts to collect, you may need a few drainage in order to get the area to collapse and stop producing the fluid.  Good luck.
