Seroma treatment? What are my options? (Photo)

grivera0086
I have developed a seroma in my upper abdomen (12 wks PO) and am looking at options for treatment. My doctor is very far but has advised me of some options. Tight compression, aspiration and surgical removal. It is fairly new and soft so I am attempting compression first, of course. Is it likely it may reabsorb using this method or should I just seek help somewhere with aspiration?
