Seroma Aspiration
Support
A specialized drainage protocol used before and after a surgeon-performed seroma aspiration. Reduces fluid accumulation pressure, encourages reabsorption, and limits recurrence after the surgical drain has been removed.
A Coordinated
Surgical Protocol
Seroma management is medical, not aesthetic. We work as an extension of your surgeon's plan, never independently.
- 01Pre-Aspiration DrainageA targeted session 24 – 48 hours before aspiration can reduce the volume your surgeon needs to remove and improve subsequent absorption.
- 02Post-Aspiration CareDrainage 24 hours after aspiration limits re-accumulation by clearing the surrounding lymph load.
- 03Reduces Recurrence RiskFor clients with multiple aspirations, consistent drainage between visits is the single best predictor of resolving the seroma without further intervention.
- 04Eases Pressure & DiscomfortSeromas are uncomfortable. Drainage of the surrounding tissue reduces the pulling and pressure even before the fluid is removed.
- 05Coordinated With Your SurgeonWe require a surgeon referral and direct communication — not optional. We will never drain a suspected seroma without medical clearance.
What To Expect
Each Session
Come Prepared
- Surgeon referral required — we cannot accept self-referrals
- Bring imaging if your surgeon ordered an ultrasound
- Hydrate well the day before
- Wear loose clothing — no compression on the seroma site
- Do not aspirate or attempt drainage at home
After Your Session
- Re-apply compression as your surgeon directs
- Schedule follow-up imaging if recommended
- Watch for signs of recurrence — swelling, fluid wave
- Avoid heavy lifting for 48 hours
- Communicate any changes directly to your surgeon

More about our team →Minutes From Your Surgeon
Lymphyx sits at 9150 Wilshire Boulevard, in the heart of Beverly Hills’ plastic-surgery corridor — within a half-mile of many of the city’s cosmetic surgeons (some just a few blocks away) and under a mile from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. That proximity matters most in the first two weeks after surgery, when drainage is needed every day or two and a long drive is the last thing you want. Clients come to us straight from procedures across Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and the LA Westside — often the same week they’re discharged.
