Asked By:kimma

Had reconstruction surgery 9 days ago. I have a seroma in my left breast which i just had a capsulectomy on (implant was removed 3 months ago due to an infection). I has had a partial mastectomy on left breast because of the staph infection. The seroma however isn't at an insicion site it is where the tissue was removes behind my nipple. Dr tried to drain but said it was too deep. To prevent cc again would compression, massage and vitamen e be worth trying for me? Ty
