What is the consensus on exercising when one has a seroma? I recently read a study published in the Journal of Clinical Nursing that post-op exercise initiated after mastectomy does not factor into seroma formation, but I've seen conflicting viewpoints from other doctors on this board who strongly advise against exercising with a seroma. My seroma is very small (4cc) after gynecomastia surgery (gland removal).
