How long should a seroma take to heal?

August 22, 2016
Asked By:Jamie_L in Derby, KS

I have a seroma. One the first day 150 cc was drained. It has been drained a total of 4 times. On the 3rd time it was down to 10 cc. Today it was at 30 cc but it had been four days since it had been drained. Is this expected progress? What is the normal time frame for a seroma to heal? Thank you.
