Does a seroma disappear on its own? (Photo)

Seromas heal much faster when aspirated. also, some seromas become "chronic", so it is best to seek a local sugeon that can help you drain it once or twice so that doesn't happen.

You need to go to a doctor, they need to pinch you with a needle a remove the liquid, if don do it could get infected, the small amount of liquid the body remove with no trouble

Hello: thank you for your pictures  and questions.
Is hard to tell with one picture, but if you feel irregularities in this area would be recommended to check with your surgeon and primary care phisician. Perform an abdominal wall sonogram to report the area. In case it is positive for seroma the best solution is drain it. First check with your doctor, a phisical evaluation is a must before making a final decision

I appreciate your question.

I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

Depending on the gravity of the seroma, it isbest that you are evaluated by a professional. Seromas from Lipo sculpturesdoes not produce the same amount of fluids as a Tummy tuck patient,usually the amount of fluids produced after a Lipo sculpture the body is ableto absorb on its own if given the proper compression , there can beexceptions and in those cases, it is best to consult with your surgeon or anyother Plastic surgeon that can provided a physical evaluation.
Best Wishes on your recovery!

If it is small it will go away by itself.  If it is large, you may need to have an aspiration of the liquid with a needle.  It is not a common complication in my practice but it does happen more frequently with certain types of liposuction techniques.  It does not look very big to me but I recommend you contact your surgeon and discuss this.  Best Wishes!!

Thanks for the question, seromas are accumulations of tissue fluid , when it is a small amount your body will likely resolve it itself

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation is normal.
I suggest my patients to try the lymphatic massages and to use a full body compression garment, 24/7 for the first 3 months, and after that, for 12 hours a day for 3 more months, to get the best results.
It is important for the compression garment to be very tight, for it to help with the swelling, after surgery. Please, follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)
