Seroma after lumpectomy and re excision
Everything went well with my re-excision on 19 December; however, this morning, I noticed redness and tenderness in my breast. Since my surgeon is still on Christmas break, I contacted a McGrath nurse...

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.
