Is This Dangerous to Have Such a Large Painful Hematoma After Mini Tummy Tuck and Lipo? (photo)
2ummy2imeMar 29, 2013
12 days post op and I developed a hematoma within minutes of waking from surgery. My drain put 500 cc's 1st day. Then removed last Monday draining 15 CCs. The bruised area you see is hard as a rock and PS said it is hematoma and to let my body reabsorb. But it is large, pushing on nerves and painful. It was liquid, but it is very hard now. Should I seek a second opinion? Is this dangerous? How long will it take for my body to absorb a 6 x 8 inch hematoma?
