I have a Seroma in one breast. My implant sits high now even though the swelling is gone. My doctor is confident it'll absorb but I feel it's been taking too long. He wants to see me at my 3 month checkup but it's depressing me.

Answer: Seroma Not having the opportunity to see you, it is very difficult to be concretely helpful.How was e seroma diagnosed? Did you have an ultrasound scan? You are saying that the swelling is gone, which would make me believe there is no fluid collection right now.Is it just the implant sitting too high, or the entire breast got bigger?As you can see, too many questions to be able to tell you something practical. You should surely see your surgeon more often if you are worried, and don't be worried to ask more questions about your situation.

Answer: Seroma? In my experience, true seromas are very uncommon and rarely resorb and require treatment. If it is a hematoma, it needs to be surgically evacuated/cleaned out. If it is simply malposition, it is best to wait (in my opinion) at least six months before repositioning. I don't know how long after surgery you are now whaich also has some influence
