After calcified Seroma was removed surgically in Dec18 it’s come back. Had 2ml syringed and now go back in June for a review. Ps said looks like I’ll always have this harden lump there. Anyone have any solutions? It feels very restrictive and uncomfortable. Is there anyone of removing it for good? Or any treatment that can flatten it out?
