long lasting seroma.

long lasting seroma.

I've had a seroma forever!  Mastectomy 4/08 followed by aspiration every 1-2 weeks until reconstruction 1/09.  Now a seroma in back below latissimus incision.  "Seroma capsule" was evacuated at time of implants 4/09, STILL have fluid accumulating.  I'm wearing multiple compression devices, and seeing a lymphedema therapist for manual lymph drainage.  I went 7 days with no fluid accumulating, but now it's back again.  For 14 months, I've had either a drain in or a seroma.  Will this ever end and what else can I do???

Hopefully it doesn't hurt. That has to be very frustrating for you.
Sorry I don't know what else can be done, maybe someone else will know.
