How long does it take a seroma to go down after being drained? Or should it have gone after the aspiration?

I had a breast reduction and I had a seroma drained today by my doctor. I thought the swelling would go away immediately after draining but my breast is still pretty swollen. How long does it take to go down typically? Or should it have went away after the aspiration?
