How to help the body absorb the fluid from a seroma? (Photo)

Your photo is very suggestive of a seroma. The ER report could give specific information as to the volume. Though continuity of care is very important, I agree with many of the other respondents that you could ask your surgeon for a referral to a trusted colleague in Chicago for help. Best of luck.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  It appears that your seroma is visible, indicating that it is large enough to aspirate and treat.  I would see if your surgeon in Miami has a colleague in Chicago that would be willing to see you in-person.  That would help avoid a return flight for treatment. In the meantime use a compression garment over the area to help minimize the risk of the seroma growing. Hope this helps.

I agree with my colleagues, that the best you can do is compress and massage the area. However, most times small seromas have needles placed into them and they are aspirated, something not easily done when your doctor is far away.
