Still in Pain After Seromas Were drained, Do I Have Other Options?

Rollie
I developed post surgical seromas in bilateral breasts about 2 weeks post reduction. I did have them drained about 15ml removed. I saw my plastic surgeon after and she attempted to drain them again with no success. she told me just to massage them 4-5 times a day but it is so painful and the areas are very hard. It hurts to even run your finger along the side of my breast. is there anything else I can do?
