Who to ask to remove seroma after tummy tuck? (Photo)

February 18, 2018
Asked By:RSMember3829 in Bay Area, CA

I am 9 wks s/p diastastis recti and umbilical hernia repair (no skin tightening/removal), developed seroma, got drained x 5 over last 7 weeks. PS says she’s never had this happen before and does not know what else to do to help me. Told me to stop wearing compression garment and “live life normally” two days ago. Do most PSs have the skill set to remove a seroma surgically or are there PSs who specialize in dealing with these complications? Thank you in advance for any advice!
