I have read that they return often, and I'm hoping one aspiration will do the trick. I am very active and so unhappy I can't exercise. Also, I've been diligent about my abdominal binding and will continue to do so for the full 6-8 weeks. I feel like this is the worst decision I've ever made. Below are some pics before draining the seroma.

Answer: Seroma after tummy tuck Hello and thank you for the question. It is possible that it won't return. The key in treating any seroma is to keep the cavity constantly drained/empty so that it closes in. This can be achieved by either placing a seroma catheter that stays in for a few days or frequent aspirations (daily if needed). Continuous wearing of the compression garment is also essential. Best,

Answer: Seroma Sometimes a seroma needs to only be drained once, otherwise it might take a few times. Do have it drained if it reoccurs. Be patient and give yourself time to heal. You may soon fine you love your new look.
