WineTime88Aug 4, 2012
Mini TT w/lipo in the flanks 5 wks ago. Drain removed 1-wk post op, seroma developed. PS aspirated the seroma on multiple occasions successfully. 3rd trip in, gave me a local , reopened incision, & removed 230 cc fluid. Grew back.More aspit, no fluid. Dr. reopened it, removed 150 cc fluid.2nd drain was removed 5 days ago& while the seroma improved,there is a "lip" over incision. Tried to aspir yesterday.Time frame abnormal? 5 weeks out. Will that lip go away? Nothing buttons! Is this normal?
