How is Hematoma after Brachioplasty typically treated?

Hello, Small hematomas will often be reabsorbed by your body over time with no treatment. If it persist or bothers you, after a couple of weeks, the formed hematoma will liquify and it can be drained using a needle in the office..the risk with aspirating the hematoma is that you could infect it during the procedure. Larger hematomas can be observed or drained using a needle or on occasion opening the incision for drainage. Enlarging hematomas are another story. 

Hematomas after an arm lift are exceedingly rare. If a hematoma does develop. The treatment depends on multiple factors. The hematoma may require aspiration with a needle or even an evacuation of the blood with a minor office procedure. These usually heal well without significant long term or short-term complications. Post operatively weather it’s a needle aspiration or a formal surgical evacuation, compression therapy will be important to minimize recurrence.

If this is a hematoma, it may resolve without treatment since it is small. It may also be a seroma which can be drained. Either way this is a minor complication and should not impact your results.
