Could a small seroma turn into a pseudo bursa at 6 months post-op? (Photos)

I am 6 months post op tummy tuck. Left side is bigger than the right. I am meeting with my PS in 2 weeks to discuss options. My PS diagnosed it as a small seroma a few months ago, however did not recommend aspirating the area because it was so small. The recommended approach has been massaging the area and 24/7 compression garment. I have followed PS directions, however I have not seen an improvement. I am concerned that the seroma is now a pseudo bursa. I have an ultrasound scheduled.
