I just got my very first surgery on Monday june 10, 2024. It's 10 cm cysts or seromas. My cysts or seromas is under my right arm armpit. Its looks cheesy like. Now im relaxing and recovering from surgery. I have IV cord drainage on me. I have to go back to the hospital take the IV drain. So i don't know what the nurse going to do next?
Dr. Cabbabe, I live in St. Louis but recently traveled to Chicago to have a MMO on May 22. I actually ended up with a Panniculectomy with muscle repair and aggressive lipo. I am 3 days shy of 2 weeks post op. I still have the drain in. I am hovering @ 90 cc a day of dark fluid which I am guessing is a seroma. I am concerned about this after watching your video. I also have necrosis which I will be seeing a wound specialist on Wednesday. Can you give me any guidance and if possible can I contact your office to get an appointment with you?
That is very concerning for hematoma and you may need surgery to evacuate. We recommend you follow up with your plastic surgeon regarding these significant complications to discuss next steps.
I had my drain in from Feb till end of April I Suffered Still not right but will not go back to my plastic surgeon even though he was rated 5 stars and the best Can you help me please
Sorry to hear that. There is absolutely no benefit to a drain after three weeks, and should always be removed, then deal with the seroma.
Do you believe drains are required for panniculectomy?
Should not be if done correctly
Hi Doc. I had my giant lipoma excision surgery in my right buttocks on October 27, and the drain was removed on November 15. A seroma formed, and my doctor aspirated it on November 25, and it is 100cc. Is it normal that the seroma will reoccur? I think it is starting to form again, but not too much like before.
The cavity will be there forever, but the fluid may go away with repeated aspirations.
The surgeries can be complicated, and some cases it’s better to do liposuction to remove the lipoma, then to cut out a large area and create a massive cavity.
@@drsamercabbabe Doc, Is it okay to have a 10-day interval from the first aspiration to the second aspiration?
Can you remove mine for me! I had a 360 belt lipectomy 😢my back tummy and upper thighs are all swollen eight weeks post op
Sorry to hear that. We do tons of revision surgery, schedule a consultation.
I had breast conserving surgery and then radiation. I had sooooo much edema and ultrasound showed seroma.
Very common after lumpectomy. The best way to do a lumpectomy is with an oncoplastic reconstruction, where a plastic surgeon is involved, and then a reduction/lift on the other side for symmetry. One and done, best cosmetic result, and lowest risk of complications.
Do you treat seromas?
Seroma should be treated by the Doctor Who created them. You should return to your surgeon to see care.
Can a seroma form after drains are removed?
