What are my options in regards to a lower back seroma, 7 months post op?

Asked By:Lizzette72 in Torrance, CA

I had full body liposuction back in July. My PS says she took a lot out of my lower back and that it was stubborn hard fat that just wouldn't come out. . I developed a seroma probably a week post op and it is now 6 months and I am still being aspirated. it's about 35 cc's every 6 days. Will this seroma ever go away? and what are the other options. I am a very active person and have put off my running to try and resolve this seroma but I am feeling like it's never going away. Please help
