Is swelling after seroma drainage normal?

qtji
I had gynecomastia surgery 6 weeks ago. After the drains were removed, I developed a seroma on one side. It was drained 5x, until my surgeon couldn't drain any more. I now have swelling on that side. It was told it could also be scar tissue, and I should massage it to help it go away. I have been, but it's been a week since then, and the swelling doesn't seem to have changed at all. It's worse at night. Is this normal after a seroma? When will it go away? I'm concerned a pseudobursa developed.
