Asked By:TashaHarps in Newmarket, ON

Lipo done on Oct 10. 1 wk post op seroma was drained- 40cc. 2nd time 30cc aspirated 1 week later (3 days ago). Nurse said keep faja compression most of the time, but no restrictions now, yes I can exercise lifting weights & cardio. I have only dealt with this specific nurse & she knows my history. I still have a bit of fluid in the area but it has NOT gotten worse since I had it aspirated 3 days ago. Is this info correct? I dont want to make things worse if it is incorrect. Thanks!
