Asked By:2ummy2ime in DFW, Texas

9 days ago I had a mini tummy tuck and abdominal liposuction. I have been in terrible pain since day 1 with bad bruising and very swollen. I went to see my Doctor Monday 7 days post op and he said it is a hematoma. He took the drain out.He told me the hematoma.I wear a tight compression garment.Why did my Doctor choose to not aspirate the hematoma?How did this happen or why? Could this hematoma cause issues if left un-treated?
