Will a Seroma Go Away on It's Own?

MrsReedJohnson
I had a TT 2.5 weeks ago and suspect I may have a seroma - the wave is there when I tap on my belly. My surgeon dismissed the idea of it when I asked at my 1 week appointment. I am 4 hours away from my surgeon and am wondering if this will be absorbed by my body? I am going for physio/massage therapy to have the scar tissue worked on, is this something they may be familiar with or can treat? I obviously know my surgeon is best however, he dismissed it initially and is so far away. Thank you.
