If I was to have a seroma, how would I know?

Question

What are the symptoms? Also if confirmed, how is it fix? Can one leak expelling fluid at home for a day and be ok after it stops?

If you suspect a problem please consult with your implanting surgeon right away for a follow up visit. Be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in this procedure and is well known for it.

Dear Liza,Hello and thank you for your excellent question. If you are concerned about a seroma around your buttock implants, I suggest that you follow up with your surgeon. If you cannot, I would ask a local physician to order an ultrasound to evaluate the implant.  If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!
