Seroma after lumpectomy and re excision

I think seromas are very common with these types of surgery. I had one with my Mastectomy, lasted about 6 weeks and was aspirated about weekly. I also had one with my Latisimus Dorsi Reconstruction. They are annoying, a little painful, and need extra visits to the surgeon for drainage. I wasn't warned about the likelihood of it with the Mastectomy. But maybe there was too much else to cover at that time. When I went for the Recon my PS told me to expect one. 
It will come good. in its own time, probably with drainage. All the best.

Sorry you had a seroma.  I did too after my lumpectomy.   Sometimes with this bc business a photo to a medical professional can sort out an answer quickly especially over holiday period times.  

I too have a Seroma after my lumpectomy 6 months ago. It is reducing slowly. I saw a lymphoedema therapist who showed me scar reduction massage which helps. 

Ah, ah, my seroma!  - to make a really bad joke! Most disappear relatively soon. Some linger. My own experience (note: unusual, won’t necessarily happen to you) was a positively herculean attempt by my body to heal me by producing a huge amount of nutrient rich fluid, no matter what I did to suggest this was overkill. My oncologist wasn’t too happy with so much fluid with chemo, so aspirations (no, not hope, removing the fluid by needle extractions). There was a hell of a lot of fluid. And it filled up again within a couple of days. At its height, I sloshed when I bent over!

It was finally resolved but I wish I had used massage to help disperse the fluid earlier. It may not be necessary, as I say most seromas disperse quite quickly, but worth a try if it lingers! It’s funny to look back on, even slightly amusing at the time! The body is quite remarkable.
