My surgeon is not local. I have developed a Seroma and I am looking to be aspirated. Are there any NJ doctors that offer aspiration for a fee? Please do not reply to consult with my surgeon, because he is in Georgia. Thanks

Answer: Need a seroma aspirated in N.J. there are many considerations that have to be discussed with a Plastic Surgeon before you have this procedure performed. Diagnosing the location of the seroma, performing the drainage, sending the fluid for culture, treating the results of the culture, preventing future development of other seromas( which often happens subsequent to the first treatment), possibly needing to perform a secondary surgical procedure.... this should all be part of a discussion with a Plastic Surgeon. Your Plastic Surgeon in Georgia may refer you, or you can do your local homework on your own.Good luck to you.Frank Rieger M.D. Tampa Plastic Surgeon
