Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

hello cairo28Your surgeon would give you instructions on post operative care, i would advice you visit or contact him about this concern.

Arian Mowlavi, MD, FACS (license on probation) · Answer

Seroma after VASER is common and requires aggressive and serial aspiration; with each aspiration the volume remove will get smaller; if you are not aggressive with your aspirations you will get a capsule forming around the seroma pocket which will be more firm and require longer to resolve. Alos try to eat more protein in your diet and use compression.

Kristine Brecht, MD (license suspended) · Answer

I have not seen Seroma like this before. But the trend is that your fluid pocket is getting smaller. Firmness typically starts at the 2 wk mark, and progressively resolve over 6-8 weeks. Keep with your surgeon to do after care, and make sure you are wearing good compression garments, so tight you can’t see the wrinkles.Choose an expert.
