Is pseudo-bursa a risk with tummy tucks?

Thank you for the question. A psuedobursa is a pocket of scar tissue that has been created by the body to wall off a fluid collection. This is typically seen secondary to an undrained seroma or hematoma. I hope this helps.

I am sorry that you are having concerns about your procedure
and thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your
concern.



A pseudobursa is a defined pocket,
usually filled with fluid. It is the mechanism that the body has to wall off
fluid collections that do not go away. If this is the result of a surgery of
your belly, and it requires continuous drainages, a possible treatment is to
surgically remove it. You might need to have drains to prevent its recurrence.



Finally, make sure that your doctor is
aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.

Wishing you the best in your journey
