seroma after liposuction?

Answered on 23rd May '24

• A seroma is the accumulation of lymphatic fluid within areas that underwent liposuction. The serum is the yellowish liquid portion of blood that remains after the red blood cells, and white blood cells have been removed.
• In the days following liposuction, it’s normal to have seroma seeping in from the site of surgery. It occurs because the surgeon fills the site of operation with a tumescent solution, which prepares the area for the removal of the fat cells and contains lidocaine, epinephrine, and an electrolyte solution.
• Seromas after liposuction result from:
  • Surgical traumas that injure or destroy the lymphatic vessels within targeted fatty tissues. Lymphatic vessels are tiny tubular structures that drain tissues of fluids that leak from capillary blood vessels.
  • Additionally, excessively large liposuction cannulas create large empty pockets within targeted fatty tissues and remove lymphatic vessels, encouraging seromas after liposuction.
• Although the surgeon removes much of the fluid when sucking the fat out, surgeons still cannot release all the fluid. Which then leaks from the incisions.
• You will have to wear absorbent pads for 48 hours.
• Without treatment, a seroma usually resolves anywhere between several weeks and months.
• But it's preferable to drain the liquid to avoid the risk of infection and to allow the skin to heal.
• The amount of seroma produced is proportional to the volume of fat removed.
