Will a seroma go away?

Answer by  Elizabeth1959 (87)

A seroma is a collection of clear fluid that sometimes pools close to the incision site after surgery. A seroma is not a sign of infection. Seromas are often absorbed by the body within several weeks to months. Surgery is sometimes performed to drain the fluid if a seroma is too large for the body to absorb.

Although seromas can persist for a long time they usually go away. Small seromas can be persistent for a very long time, even years.

Seromas can persist for a long time and, aside from stretching out the skin, there is the risk that a pseudobursa can form. This is scar tissue that then requires more surgery to correct than if the seroma can be drained adequately

A seroma is a pocket of clear serous fluid that sometimes develops in the body after surgery. If the surgery done without any complications then seroma will go away.
