Post- Lumpectomy, Grapefruit Sz Hematoma Drained 24hrs Ago and is Back. Help! It Hurts.
Answer: Breast hematoma Thank you for your question. A hematoma can be very mild or very pronounced in its presentation. A mild one may induce slightly more swelling and increased bruising and will likely resolve on its own. A more severe hematoma can result in dramatic asymmetry in terms of swelling, feelings of light headedness due to loss of blood, severe bruising, and can be rapidly growing. If you every experience the latter, then I would contact your surgeon immediately and if you have trouble, you may even go to the ER. Larger hematomas often have to be surgically drained.

Answer: Two recurrent breast hematomas
It may not necessarily mean that it has recurred and may be more indicative of a seroma. Alternatively, if you have a repeated tendency for hemoma, you may want to consider a hematologic evaulation.

Answer: Recurrent hematoma after a lumpectomy
You need to contact your breast surgeon ASAP regarding your recurrent hematoma. They will need to treat this expeditiously and a drain should be placed following the procedure (though it won't necessarily prevent this or a seroma 100% fo the time).

Answer: Recurrent Hematoma After Lumpectomy
It seems that you have recurrent hematoma. With a small size hematoma, your body may be able to reabsorb it. However, with a large hematoma that is expanding or giving you discomfort, you need to have it re-evacuated soon. Please see your breast surgeon.
