My bf had lipo 10 days ago and loves her results but developed a seroma in the low back which was aspirated once 200c at post op day 5. CG are still worn and next day post aspiration, same amount of seroma collected. Here is my concern as a healthcare professional. will her skin eventually stick? How long will this last Until it's all resolved? Should she continue her post op antibiotics to prevent infection? Will this clot and cause irregularities? What are we dealing with here? Thank You !

Your compression garment should be moderately tight, but should not constrict your movement or hinder your breathing. I would recommend talking to your surgeon and see if you can exchange it for a larger size.
i do a very large number of Smartlipo cases. IF you can easily remove and then replace the ring immediately after surgery, that is best. if for some reason you cannot get it out, then i think the risks are very lowif you leave it in.david berman md
I would recommend contacting your surgeons office for their recommendation, as it depends on the type of anesthesia you are having and the time of the day that your procedure will be performed.
