Seroma or hematoma - which is worse? Which recurs more and why?

Thank you very much for your interesting
enquiry.I am sorry you have had such
difficulty following your tummy tuck surgery.I am afraid haematomas and seromas do
sometimes occur following abdominoplasty surgery and it does sound as if you had
it well treated with drainage.Often
there is no obvious reason why you would develop these complications following
surgery but it does sound as if you are on the right treatment and hopefully
the area will continue to heal well now.I would generally advise you to keep in close
contact with your surgeon for regular reviews so they can check you out and
check that all areas are healing well and that they are happy with your
progress.AR

I am so sorry for your unfortunate circumstances, but seroma and hematoma are complications associated with surgery like yours. The hematoma should not recur, but the seroma may come back, but your surgeon can drain it with a syringe.  Try to stay patient and confident, as you will get better!

The hematoma should not recur at this point. The seroma is a more serious issue which has a higher rate of recurrence. Make sure you follow up with you surgeon so they can monitor your healing at this point and hopefully help prevent a recurrence.
