I had a tummy tuck two months ago. i just had my drain placed again. i have had my seroma drained three times. it is persistent, any suggestions?

May need a procedure: A seroma (fluid collection) after tummy tuck is not unusual. Typically it occurs within the first few weeks and is handled with periodic removal with a needle (aspiration). Along with a compression binder to keep the space collapsed, a bit of time and patience is usually adequate treatment. Occasionally a drain is placed attached to suction . Further treatment may require a minor second surgery.

Recurring seroma: Can be quite a nuisance as you are experiencing. Advice cannot be given over the internet and i would suggest staying with your surgeon and know what happens if this second drain doesn't do the trick. If your surgeon is clueless, the suggest getting a second opinion in your community.

Seromas occur: Unfortunately seromas can occur after tummy tucks (witch hazel). Typically they are not associated with any particular cause, prolonged drainage and limited active with compression are commonly recommended and performed, repeated aspirations may occur and may be sufficient to treat the problem. This may take a dozen times or more. Occasionally a drain may help to avoid repeated office visits. Stays with your md.

Residual/seroma: YES, re operation with removal serum "sac". and long time in dwelling drainage system. Best to seek second opinions in person from 'private practice' Plastic Surgeons in South Florida.
