No Drainage when Seroma Was Aspirated? (photo)

Emily27436
16 days PO TT/lipo to flanks I developed a seroma in my lower abdomen. I can move the fluid around when I press on it. I went to see my doc today and she agreed it was a seroma that needed aspirated. So she put the needle in but nothing came out. We really tried trust me. Different angles, depths, etc. but nothing came out! So she wants me to wear my binder and come back in one week and call her if it gets any bigger in the mean time. Is it normal to have no fluids come out on aspiration?
