Thank you for your question. Although highly unlikely to get a seroma 8 months after your surgery it is possible. I recommend seeing your PS and possibly having an ultrasound to see if there is a fluid collection.Best Wishes!
Hello dear!!Thanks for the question!A seroma is a collection of fluid that builds up under the surface of your skin. Seromas may develop after a surgical procedure, most often at the site of the surgical incision or where tissue was removed. The fluid, called serum, doesn’t always build up right away. The swelling and fluid may start collecting several weeks after surgery.Surgical drainage systems are used in some surgeries to prevent a seroma from developing. Also compression garments are designed to help skin and tissue heal faster. They may also reduce swelling and bruising after a surgery. These dressings may help reduce your risk of developing a seroma.I recommend you to contact your PS for any doubts in regards to your case.Good Luck.
