I've already had one seroma and just had that drain removed a couple days ago but now I'm feel more swelling and my mons, mostly one side, is super swollen. Can you get a seroma in the mons area?

I'm five weeks out and had 12lbs removed.

I think you can get a seroma anywhere. I hope this resolves itself soon for you.

Definitely call your surgeon and ask them if they want to check you out. Its nothing to play around with!

Yeah, you can get a seroma anywhere under, or adjacent to, an incision. When I had my mons lift, I had a huge seroma right above the mons that had to be drained twice a week for several weeks and then ocne a week for a couple more weeks. Definitely call your surgeon, though, and have him/her look at it, because since you just had your drain removed it may just be normal and expected swelling and not really a seroma.

yes you can , that is where I had it. I had my seroma's drained 3 different times . I am 3 months out and still swollen, I went to see PS yesterday and he said it is normal. I look like the Ken doll or like I have a male athletic supporter on, but then agin my belly is so flat and it goes in so maybe that is why the mons looks like it sticks out so much

Thanks for all the replies! I did call the doctor last night and he said he thinks for sure I have another seroma. I am going to meeting him at the hospital today to have another drain put it.

This will be number six! Ugh!
