I am 3 weeks postoperatively silicone. After the first week, developed a large seroma and my doctor would not drain. In 15 days drained spontaneously through the scar, and now I have to try to drain help decrease the amount of liquid. How long does it take to stop seroma to drain and heal?

Answer: Seroma after implants
Seroma formation after breast augmentation is very unusual, but can happen. It is very important that you follow closely with your surgeon to ensure that there are no signs of infection.
Good Luck.

Answer: Breast fluid collections often resolve on their own
My experience with breast fluid collections (seromas) is that they often resolve on their own - this sometimes takes a while, but any intervention into the seroma risks contaminating the implant. I prefer to leave these fluid collections alone unless their are obvious signs of infection or ongoing bleeding.
