Hello dear. Seroma can be aspirated

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. Seroma if uncomplicated can be easily aspirated and you dont have to do more. If infected then antibiotics may be required. Please state, for what indication it was put. An imaging study like ultrasound or MRI of abdomen may be necessary to quantify the fluid and anatomy.
