What type of imaging is ordered, Pelvis and Bilateral Hips or just Pelvis? With or without contrast? Can fat transfer still be performed if there are seromas present?

Answer: Imaging for seroma Ultrasound is an ideal modality for detecting fluid collections. It is inexpensive, simple and does not impose any radiation. They areas included should be all the areas where a seroma is suspected. Typically a seroma can be palpated or noticed an examination. If it’s not noticeable on examination then it probably isn’t of clinical significance. Someone’s history is important and giving you a meaningful answer. I suggest you discuss with your provider.
