Brooke R. Seckel, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

If at 11 weeks you still have a seroma, a visible pocket of fluid that moves when tapped you may need drainage of the seroma.  Typically seromas are aspirated at least weekly and usually cc after the first 3-4 weeks.  Seromas lasting 11 weeks are at risk for forming a seroma cavity which can create a firm visible lump on the abdomen.  If you still have a seroma you should be examined by your plastic surgeon and discuss possible surgical drainage and or excision of the seroma cavity.
