Recurring seroma after lipo? (Photo)

January 27, 2017
Asked By:nygoldengirl in New York, NY

I am now 2 weeks post lipo of upper & lower abdomen, flanks and upper outside of thighs. I previously had a TT six months ago. I wear a compression wrap 24/7. I developed a seroma on my left lower abdomen & flank which has been aspirated 3 or 4 times by my Dr. it keeps returning. The aspirate on serrous fluid slightly tinged with red and clear. It is not as large as when it appeared originally but it recurs quickly after aspiration. How and when will this seroma disappear?
