Seroma

[kjb]

Hi Dr. Hueneke,
I just had emergency surgery due to a seroma on right side, I have textured unders. The only thing is, it happened 10 weeks post op. My doctor said there is not a lot published on this happening this far out after surgery, and maybe there might be a link to the textuted, this is the only thing he can think of. Do you have any knowledge on this and why it might have happened so far out. I had been doing high impact cardio hours before the pain came on and I noticed it swelling up, however I had been doing high impact cardio everyday before that too after about the 5 week mark or so.

A little history, I had silicone overs put in Nov 07, immediately had a hematoma on left breast, got cc, went back for textured unders Nov 08, immediately had another left breast hemotoma, both times had to undergo surgery again immed after, I was still in hospital both times. They even tested me for vonwillebrands disease since they said 2 hematomas are very rare. I didn't have the disease though.

Any help on seroma and why this happened??
Thanks!

It is most unusual and will probably be a mystery. I am not aware of any literature on it.
