How long will it take to resolve a 10cc seroma?

A 10cc abdominal seroma is generally not even detectable, and typically does not require drainage.  If you have a noticeable seroma with a fluid shift, the volume is likely much more than 10 cc.       If it's not noticeable, I would just leave it alone and use some compression with a binder and it should resolve. Of course discuss this with your surgeon. Best wishes to you!

Thanks for the question.10cc's is a very small seroma.  How often is it being drained?  If it continues to drain the same amount week after week, I usually add a small amount of steroid injection to the pocket to reduce the fluid accumulation and apply pressure with a garment.  I am sure your Plastic Surgeon has a firm grasp on your situation.  They resolve pretty quickly...around 2 weeks more at most.Best wishes.Dr T

If you have a palpable fluid shift, then aspiration might be a good idea. Normally I remove drains when they are less than 30 cc/24 hrs because the body usually can absorb that fluid.
