Do you need to be standing to tell if you have a seroma?

Asked By:aimeeo6 in Redding, CA

I know that is seroma is waterbed-like but my question is does it matter if you are laying down or standing up to check? When I'm standing, it seems pretty firm with no water bed effects but when I'm laying down, there is the waterbed effect. When I went for a two-week check-up, the nurse told me I needed to be standing to tell. Is this accurate or should I be concerned?
