I Have a Large Seroma 4 Years Post Tummy Tuck. I Have Moved out of State, How Can I Get This Fixed and Should I?

leredog
I had a tummy tuck in 2008, and developed a seroma post-operatively. This was treated with serial draining and injecting sclerosing solution. I now have a large seroma (15cm x8cm x 4cm). The surgeon I saw since I have moved, tried to aspirate the fluid and was unable to remove much due to the viscosity of the fluid. I have moved from Virginia to Alaska, so seeing the original surgeon is not an option. What can I do? Kathy
