Radio frequency skin tightening after liposuction of arms effective and when to start? (photo)

Hi John I´m sorry you are through this. Seroma happens due to the space created once the fat is removed. One simple option is to leave a closed drain for a few days until there is less than 25ml per day coming out. Best wishes.
