Asked By:jovencita8 in Newburgh, NY

I had a tummy tuck procedure in Colombia five months ago, and I kept getting small seroma, which the Colombian doctor drained. When I came back to the US the collection of fluids remained but couldn’t find a doctor that would drain it for me. I’ve tried heat, diuretics, sauna, everything but with no luck. Do I need another surgery to remove the seroma?
