Seroma fluid keeps coming back. How can I stop it? (Photo)

The thought of re insertion of a drainage system comes to my mind. Ask your surgeon about this thought ..// 

Seromas after tummy tucks are not unusual. There are two options available in my practice. One is to do serial aspiration of the hematoma through the numb area between your bellybutton and pubic hairline. This can be done twice weekly with continued compression of your abdomen. The other option is replacement of the drain. I would discuss these options with your plastic surgeon and see what he recommends. Best wishes!

It may require several aspirations to get the seroma to resolve. if the seroma continues to recur after 3 to 6 aspirations, your surgeon may consider placing a closed suction drain.  You can also help by minimizing your fluid and salt intake.  If you have a problem with edema ( swelling of the feet or ankles) you may want to ask your medical doctor if a diuretic medicine (water pill) might be of help.
