Trabuco Canyon, CA Can a seroma develope 6 month po?
I had tt surgery almost 6 months ago. I had a seroma develope 5 weeks after surgery. After several aspirations, it seemed to have resolved itself. Now, at 6 months and in the process of losing weight, my tummy looks like im 5 months pregnant. Could this be the "return of the seroma"? Im a bit concerned..

It could be a seroma ( your primary care physician can rule this out by ordering an ultrasound)in which case further surgery may be needed because by now the seroma cavity has a lining to it which needs to be removed or it will just keep coming back.
