Can you exercise while you have a small seroma?

Question

I am 6 weeks Drainless TT post op and have a seroma. I have had 7 aspirations, The last few have been below 50ccs of fluid. PS is putting a drain in.

No. You do not want to be exercising until your seroma is healed. Discuss when that will be with your surgeon.My best,Dr. Sheila Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram

Sorry to hear that you have seroma.Each plastic surgeon has different surgical and post-surgical protocol; you should check with your plastic surgeon for his/her guidance.However, if my patient has a seroma, I would recommend her to limit the activity and keep a compression garment.  When you are more active (exercise), your body will make more fluid.Good luck with your recovery.

Seroma treatment in TT at our practice includes:1)compression garment2)serial aspirations3)culture of fluid and placement on antibiotics4)avoidance of physical activitySo I am sorry to say that you should wait till the seroma solution is resolved.
