Asked By:Beck46 in Miami, FL

It has been 10 weeks since removal of under muscle silicone implants with partial capsule removal. My right breast is larger and tender. I thought seroma but not sure after ultrasound. There is fluiid in the entire breast cavity. I am having aspiration next week. They estimated 92 ml of fluid. How can I prevent this from occurring again? I have worn compression since surgery.
