After 360 lipo of the abdomen I developed a seroma which turned to scar tissue on my left side.I have noticed that area is darker than the rest.Will that area lighten back to normal over time?
Answer: Dark scar tissue I would use products with a bleaching cream, i.e.-- hydroquinone. this will take time, so be patient and apply the cream twice a day. Dr. Leake

Answer: Dark Area After Seroma Certainly there are a lot of interventional procedures that can be done (Chemical peels, micro needling, Etc.) to lighten the dark area where the seroma once was. However, if you can be patient and give it a few months, it will likely fade on its own. Make sure to use sunscreen SPF 30 or better with any sun exposure. Best of luck!Windell Davis Boutte', M.D.
