Dealing with traumatic Seroma in buttock and want reconstruction. plastic surgeon excised capsule as Seroma became chronic. After excision, fluid reabsorbs and then comes back after a few days. This has been going on for 2 & 1/2 months now. Surgeon l could not get all of the capsule out, but excised most and reassures me that remaining capsule will collapse into scar tissue and then soften. Does capsule need to be fully excised for Seroma to end? Want fat transfer to fix contour deformity.
