discuss having a new drain placed if it persists

Seromas are collections of fluid that can form under the skin after a tumm tuck. These may need to be drained in the office  several times until the fluid amounts are quite low. If the fluid persists, occasionally a drain may need to be replaced and injected with a special solution to prevent fluid accumulation. Discuss this in detail with your plastic surgeon as each case is unique.
