Answer: Sleeping position Great question! There really isn't a specific position that will help increase the reabsorbing of the seroma or prevent it from occurring. However, I would wear the compression 24/7 other than showering as you want to decrease the empty space where the seroma can form.Best of luck and hope this information helps!- Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsaiBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
