I hope you have discussed your concerns with your surgeon and been checked for any actual pockets of fluid, as opposed to having swelling in the tissues. I tell my patients that it takes weeks for the tissue swelling to completely resolve, sometimes even months for the final contours to be...
Chronic seromas are rare after liposuction. They may occur more often with laser liposuction. A small seroma (3 to 5 cc) should not contribute to irregularities but if it gets larger you may need a drain placed. Most seromas resolve within 2 months of surgery so hang in there and follow...
