Will general surgeon be able to remove my pseudobursa along with my seroma?

Jade007
I had a tummy tuck 7 years ago and have developed a seroma and pseudobursa. It is causing me discomfort since it sits on top of my stomach. I've had a CT scan done and there is indeed a small 3cm seroma. A general surgeon will remove it. My question is, when a seroma is removed, will the pseudobursa be taken out as well? I feel that my biggest problem as far as pain and pressure is from the pseudobursa and not really the seroma since it's so small. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
