At A to Zen Bodyworks in Medford, NJ, we understand the various aspects of post-surgical recovery, including the management of seromas. A seroma is a collection of clear fluid that can develop after surgery. It forms as part of the body's natural healing process, which involves the formation of new blood vessels and the accumulation of fluid at the surgical site. Although seromas are typically harmless and resolve on their own within a few weeks, there are instances where they may require professional drainage.
What is a Seroma?
A seroma occurs when clear fluid accumulates in the tissue where surgery or trauma has occurred. This fluid buildup is a natural part of healing, aiding in tissue repair and the formation of new blood vessels. While most seromas will resolve without intervention, larger or persistent seromas may need medical attention to prevent discomfort, restricted movement, or potential infection.
When is Seroma Drainage Necessary?
While the body usually reabsorbs the fluid in a seroma over time, there are cases where the seroma is large or does not resolve on its own. In such situations, it is important to seek medical advice. Draining a seroma can help alleviate discomfort, prevent complications, and promote more effective healing.
