Brief Answer:
You need to check your protein level
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. Formation of seroma multiple time can be due to following causes.
1.You are on blood thinner.
2.There is lack of protein in diet.
3.There can be damage to lymphatics in that region.
I would suggest you to get your serum protein analysis. Also you need to check about your blood coagulation profile. If there is any thing abnormal then you can start treatment accordingly. If there is lack of protein in diet then you can start taking high protein diet, Also if there is abnormality of blood coagulation then you can take fresh frozen plasma transfusion .
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
