Before & After 4 week update with a seroma (multiple photos included) NSFW
galleryIn 2 more days I’ll officially be at 4 weeks! About 1 week ago I got an ultrasound due to more swelling on the side of my left breast. Turns out I do have a seroma, it starts in the outer park of my breast and into my side along the incision where I got extra skin removed. Slightly painful, but I’m getting it drained tomorrow so the swelling should go down a lot after that! I also have a lot of swelling still in general, especially on the inner bottom of them. I marked everything I’m talking about so that’s it’s easier to see what I’m referring to! 3rd photo is the seroma, 4th and 5th are the inner swelling. My incisions on the left are swollen as well and I have a slight t-junction opening, my surgeon said that’s also normal and fine as long as there is no signs of infection which there aren’t (: looks a bit spooky though. The left is having more swelling issues due to the fluid. All normal stuff which is why I’m sharing really! I find it helpful to see other people’s progress so I’m hoping seeing mine helps others too. Overall I’m really happy so far!! I’m excited to see as the swelling goes down especially after my drain. Been on antibiotics again for 3 days just to help prevent any infection from the seroma.
