Seroma sac removed but area is still filling up with fluid (7 mo post-op) - is this normal? (photo)

Gisel16
I had liposuction on my inner thigh 7 months ago and developed a seroma which was hard as a gulf ball. My surgeon drained it multiple times and injected it one time with steroids but it stills keep filling and it’s been almost a month that the sac was removed. The incision is pretty much healed but it stills keep filling up and has about 20mls or more of serous fluid. Is this normal to have the sac removed but the area to still filling up with fluid?
