*Extended TT w/o lipo w/o muscle repair, hematoma* After drains got pulled my skin had NO chance of adhering to my abdominal wall because of constant seroma production. This lasted 3 weeks. I had to get aspirated every 3 days. 300cc was extracted 7 times. Last week I changed my compression a little and I have seen huge changes. Very little fluid production now and I expect to get aspirated one or two more times. Tummy is flat due to constant compression. But could I have P-Bursa now ?

Answer: Seroma after tummy tuck It seems your surgeon was aggressive in aspirating your accumulating fluid frequently after the hematoma evacuation. That, combined with the compression seems to have been successful. Sometimes we will place a drain back in if it seems that a lot of fluid is accumulating rapidly. At any rate, it is too soon to determine if you are developing a bursa, but continue with frequent visits to your surgeon.

Answer: Pseudobursa or not You may develop a pseudobursa if your seroma is not resolved in the early period; this is basically a capsule or scar tissue sac that develops around your seroma pocket; if this does happen you will need to have this pseudobursa actually excised. This would also allow you to lower your abdominal incision to a more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing location. A consultation would be helpful to show you what improvements can be made.
