Seroma after liposuction. Is there anything I can do besides compression and aspiration? (Photo)

Asked By:meatball1 in Miami, FL

I had liposuction and ab sculpting on 6/18. The results were awesome, but in the last few days I've developed a seroma. I can push fluid down the middle of my abs into a pocket that developed on the right side of belly button. I just aspirated 15 ml of pink tinged fluid out of that pocket. I'm using compression and limiting my activity. No signs of infection. Is there anything I can do besides compression and aspiration? My surgeon is out of town.
