Will your body absorb a large seroma on its own? How to tell the difference in swelling compared to a large seroma? (photo)
Sulain1Feb 28, 2014
I developed a seroma one week after a TT with MR. It was drained once a week for 2 weeks. At 3weeks I was slightly swollen and still had the wave like motions when pressing on my abdomen. My surgeon told me that the seroma had resolved and that if there was any more fluid, my body would absorb it. While I do trust my surgeon, I am worried because now at 4 weeks post-op I am even more swollen. I hope its just the normal expected swelling after a TT and not a larger seroma!
