You have 2 issues. The post operative "seroma" and who will offer medical care in your area. The first issue, just from the posted photo I agree there is a seroma. Size or amount very hard to determine without an in person examination. I recommend attempted drainage, whether needle aspiration or small incision and drainage with indwelling drain to be determined by the treating surgeon. That brings us to the second issue of finding a doctor to provide local care. This shows why going out of North America for cosmetic surgery has its draw backs. I charge a fee for taking over other's problems. That fee is based upon the problem. Here in Miami, I would charge you a fee of $2500. So find a surgeon and offer to pay for your drainage. Good Luck.

A seroma that is that long standing is not a medical problem but can mar results. Send me a picture and I'll make a blog post on it. (more)
