Asked By:Lyzzamae in Carlsbad, CA

I hadarm tumescent liposuction 3 weeks ago,was diagnosed with seroma post op. Underwent needle aspiration until fluid decreases. I had total of 6 needle aspiration since my lipo.PS said nothing to worry as he will drain the fluid until he notice a decrease in volume.started 10 cc on R arm and 8 cc on L arm. Today 6 on R arm and 6 on L arm. PS might inject a Sclerosing agent for spider veins to adhere skin to the underlying tissue. What do you think about the sclerosing injection to solve seroma?
