Hello it's been three weeks since I had a capsulectomy and explant of silicone implants under the muscle. Drains on for 3 days. It appears that I have developed a seroma. I had my surgery performed by a doctor in the US. However I live thousands of miles away, us virgin Islands. I saw the local ps and he said my body will reabsorb the fluid which is not much. He doesn't think that I need to keep my breast compressed or anything. I'm afraid of continued fluid build up. What can do at home?
