Can I drain my seroma myself?

Thank you for your question.  I can understand the inconvenience of the drive to see your surgeon, but for your own safety, and possibility of introducing an infection, it would be best to have your doctor treat your seroma.  

Hello and thank you for your question. I do not recommend this at all.  You could perforate your bowels or even worse.  You should definitely return to your surgeon.  I am certain he/she would agree.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
