after having liposuction procedure, i've continued to have fluid build up and need to be aspirated. Should it only be done or drained by the doctor or a licensed person. Or is this something the office staff should be able to handle as well?

Answer: Seroma If you have developed a seroma as a result of a plastic surgery procedure your surgeon is the one to typically address this. This may be done with ultrasound guidance and drained via aspiration. Often a seroma will require multiple aspiration treatments before complete resolution.

Answer: Seroma Dear curiousjw, any invasive procedure should be done by a doctor. I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
