I've heard about Seroma?? What is this and how to prevent it.
Hello and thank you for a great question.I have personally never had a patient have seroma after BBL, however seroma is one of the common complications that can occurs. It is all in the technique utilized by the surgeon. Some surgeons will try and put too much fat in a small space-this can lead to fat necrosis with can ultimately lead to a seroma.A seroma can easily be addressed by aspirating the pocket of fluid.Using a compression garment post-surgically will reduce the chances of this happening.Please choose a board certified plastic surgeon when moving forward.All the best,Dr. ObengBeverly Hills, CA
