Asked By:aakm300 in La Canada Flintridge, CA

I had TT out of country. My drain was removed on 9th day when it still had an out put of 50cc/24hrs. After a week, Now I can feel the waves of fluid. When i press on one side the fluid creates waves on the skin.I email my doctor and he said there are two ways to treat seroma one way is to leave it alone all seromas are eventually absorbed by the skin or do aspiration. should i do aspiration with a general doctor or is it important to have it done with a PS Thanks Elly
