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

I am sorry to hear about the complications you have experienced. It certainly sounds like the situation has been handled;  hopefully, you have been through the worse and will have no further problems. Generally speaking, once a hematoma has been  evacuated (and the source of bleeding controlled),  recurrent bleeding would be very unusual. However, on the other hand, seromas may recur however, given that you have drains in place, it is likely that you will do well. Most important: close follow-up with your plastic surgeon  Who will be your best resource for assessment, advice, and meaningful reassurance. Do your best to stay emotionally even keeled; again, hopefully the worst is behind you. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with long-term.

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
