I had a full abdominoplasty 2 years ago and developed a seroma below my belly button. After having my drain for 3 weeks, it had to removed as it was falling out. I had the area aspirated about 5 times total with a steroid injected into the cavity twice. The area went flat for about 4 mths until it came back. Now about 2wks ago, went and got the capsule excised with a drain. Fluid was very low after 2wks so drain came out. Now bulge is back. Doing massage and compression. Help?!
