Hi, I did liposculpture 2 weeks ago and most of the brusing and swelling has started to vanish. Then i see this pouch on both sides of my stomach, and When i touch it its like a waterbed. I think its a seroma. Will this go away on its own or do I need to do something? I did the surgery in Paris, and i live in Norway.

Answer: Does a seroma disappear on its own? (Photo) 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 :)

Answer: Recommendations 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
