How long between the formation of my quite big seroma all under my tummy tuck scar and the ponction needed do I have ? If I am 22 days post op, had my drains removed on day 11 post op and had a seroma at day 17-18 post op. seroma has been identified by ER radiologist but my PS, is on vacation for 14 days. The other PS in my area is also on vacation for 7 days. Can the aspiration of the fluid wait 7-14 days ? No infection signs but pressure/swelling feeling ++
