Unfortunately, much more information is needed before providing you with any useful advice. That being said, early fluid accumulations can typically be drained with either needle aspiration or replacement of a surgical drain +/- antibiotics. However if the fluid accumulation continues for more than three months, the pocket/implant is likely micro-contaminated and requires removal for six months before it can be replaced. Hope this helps.

Be sure to keep your surgeon updated on your healing progress. Seromas can happen immediately after the procedure and are easily addressed. Its very important you see your surgeon for regular follow up visits to avoid further complication
