Is it possible for a Pseudo-bursa to heal on its own? (photo)

I think that your question demonstrates how online information can be a source of confusion/additional stress for some patients. What you have read is that if a seroma  is persistent, then the surrounding scar tissue (bursa)  may have to be removed surgically, in order to eliminate the seroma. In your case, if the seroma has resolved with repeated aspirations (which they most often do), then additional treatment/surgery is not indicated. Again, assuming there is no fluid accumulation, I would agree with your plastic surgeon's recommendations;  give yourself time and allow for resolution of inflammation/swelling and maturation of scarring.   This process may take up to a year, or longer, to occur. Best wishes.

Pseudobursae after tummy tuckmost of the time, the tissue will heal and flatten after seroma removal.i would wait 9-12 months to see the improvement before considering surgery

Sam_03,Its hard to say without examining you and knowing more about the surgery and postoperative course but yes, some scar tissue gets better on its own. Alternatively, I've simply excised scar tissue with quicker results.Depends on your situation.I hope this was helpful,Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic and Reconstructive SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA
