I had breast reduction surgery 8 weeks ago and little has changed. I have complained to my PS that this is not the size I wanted to be. He said that the surgery he did was much different than the anchor scar techinique and I have seromas , they will get smaller and it will take 6 months to see the final result... How long do seromas last in the breast after surgery and does it eventually go away and I will be smaller? I keep thinking that 6 months is way to long to wait....

CONTACT NOW Answer: Seroma The time it takes for serum to resolve depends on the size of the seroma. If it is significant enough one may decide to drain it via ultrasound guided placement of drain or an open operation- small seromas can simply be watched and it will gradually absorb and you should be guided by your PS.

Answer: Hard to predict the long term outcome of seromas Seromas may spontaneously resolve, or they may persist if left untreated. If it doesn't look like the seroma will go away on its own, my management of seromas consists of serial aspirations of the seroma fluid from the wound until the seroma resolves. If it appears that needle aspiration is not helping to permanantly remove the seroma, then opening the wound with removal of the seroma capsule and placement of a drain would be my next plan of treatment. Hope this helps. Thank you for sharing your concerns and question. Best wishes.
