3rd Time is a Charm? - Toronto, ON

I was very lucky to post my problem on Real Self and get a direct & matter of fact answer to the problem. I want to say thank you to R. Stephen Mulholland, MD of Toronto for his shared knowledge on my condition. Here is how he summed it up with the correct diagnosis.
Thank you for your clinical post and photographs. I’m sorry that you had eventful wound healing. It does appear from your clinical description that you had a post-operative seroma also known as a “fluid collection.” Even though the fluid was drained it often results in significant thickening called a seroma pseudobursa. Imagine a large water balloon, the water is removed from the balloon, but the balloon itself can get thickened and enlarged.

I had an Ultra sound it is 3' wide and 6' long. I decided to get an open incision and have it carved out..vs another round of lypo.

My advice to anybody who wants to consider any procedure that there is always a risk that your body will not respond perfectly to the surgery. Blaming the surgeon is really unfair in my opinion, I paid money to better my looks and self esteem. The doctor wants me to be happy with the results as well, surgery is their passion.

This site was so helpful considering I have lived with this mass since November 2013..it is getting removed by incision as I do not want liposuction..I just want it gone ..carve it out 3' wide and 6' long by ultrasound diagnosis.

I will update after surgery.

I have decided to get an incision to remove this mass that i have above my belly button. I am hopeful that the 3rd time is a charm.

I have a wonderful PS and even though I was one of the statistics when the procedure does not go perfect. Folks it is so important to remember there is always a risk that it may not turn out the way you expected.

I will post new pictures and provide an update.
