Suggest Remedy/ Diet Supplements For Seroma Post Mastectomy
I have had a double mastectomy one month ago. I developed a seroma where the breasts were. There is quite a bit of fluid. How long does it usually take for a body to absorb the fluid and are there any foods I could eat or supplements to take to help the process? I also have expanders.

Hello,
Diet and food supplements do not do much in seroma. You can include more protein rich foods in your diet for better wound healing. If there is a collection, it has to be aspirated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
