The large volume might  be chronic seroma or dog ear and both easily to do revision. Be encouraged Dr. Cardenas

HelloIf all the seroma has been aspirated, in my view it is just some remnant fat. It is not uncommon, and does happen to all surgeons at some stage or the other. You will just need a small procedure under local anesthesia to sort it out This will be quick and very effective, However you should wait for a few months, probably consider a few shots of steroids prior to a revisionDr Amit
