I had gynecomastia treatment 3 months ago and still have seroma. How long will this continue?

Asked By:nms1222 in MN

It's quite a bit. My pecks feel like waterbeds. How long will this continue? When the doctor pulls fluid out it looks great besides the fluid that settles on the side above the rib. But then it comes back slowly and I need to get it removed after another 2 weeks or so. He says it will all go away. eventually. I can hear fluid slosh around in there. It's crazy. Like I said it's been 3 months since I had it done.. He did remove 2lbs of tissue from each side.. I don't know if that matters or not.
