Dr. Revis- What does an evacuatio of hematoa entails

laurel72hcs · 04-23-2009, 05:52 PM

Hello Dr Revis,
My ps told me that I do not have a cc but a hematoma in one of my breast. My breast is as hard as a rock and hurts quite a bit. What does an evacuation of hematoma entails? Will I still be able to keep my silicone implant in after the evacuation. What precautions should I take to prevent this from occuring in the future.

Thanks for your advice.

Good afternoon,

A hematoma is a collection of blood around the implant which requires surgery for drainage. There also appears to be a slightly higher capsular contracture rtate in patients who have needed hematoma drainage. Best wishes!
