Question

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

I'm not sure really what's going on. A chronic seroma can appear as a sort of "bubble" and should be reported to your surgeon.

Dear Gina,Thank you for your post.  Photos would help determine what is going on, but better than that, a physical exam would help greatly.  One possibility is that some of the sutures holding the muscle repair have come apart.  Make an appt to see your surgeon about this.Best wishes, Pablo Prichard, MD
