I underwent a double mastectomy last April and have had a persistent seroma on the right side since then. I have seen my surgeon every 2 weeks for the past 6 weeks when he aspirated it. Unfortunately the seroma begins to fill up again after day 1. The plan appears to be to continue draining it 2 weekly in the hope it eventually goes but the volume of fluid is not much different. For some reason he is reluctant to undertake further surgery but I am not sure how long I can continue having it drained 2 weekly as it is now painful as area is no longer numb. I just wondered if anyone had a similar experience and did draining it frequently have an effect in the end or was another solution found or have you had to live with a seroma?
