2 seromas on lower back that won't go away - would a drain help in this situation? (photos)

Genius401174
I had 4 very large lipomas removed from my lower back last year, they were very large the combined size shown on the pathology report was 535 cubic inches. I now have 2 giant seromas that will not go away. I have had them drained several times, the Dr usually drains about 250ccs from one and 175ccs from the other. I wear compression 24/7. My Dr will not consider putting in a drain, she says she just doesn't do that. Would you put in a drain in this situation?
