Asked By:Ruby1959 in Los Angeles, CA

It’s almost a year post surgery. Does encapsulated seroma need to be surgically removed? Or can they go away on their own? Doctor who performed tummy tuck/lipo said it takes 2 years to go away. He said if he surgically removed it, it will come back. He said it’s better to wait. Is that true?
