Is It OK to Just Wait for a Large Seroma to Disappear on Its Own? (photo)
AmeliaUSASep 20, 2013
I am 10 days post op. on day 1 I looked amazing and then the swelling set in. I had my drains taken out at 2 days P.O. I have a very large text book waterbed like seroma on the top and bottom of my abdomen. I am in Europe and I guess they just do things differently here. I have been looked at twice and told it is fine. I am uncomfortable with the amount of swelling and afraid of complications of the seroma. My (general) surgeon does not want to drain it because of the risk of infection.
