Anyone else get a seroma after sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery?

Seromas after sentinel lymph node biopsy do occur and can definitely be uncomfortable and concerning. Many patients experience similar post-surgical complications, and it sounds like staying in close contact with the surgical team is the right approach. The combination of tenderness and nerve-related sensations can be particularly challenging during recovery, so hopefully the upcoming appointment will provide some additional guidance on managing symptoms and monitoring healing progress.

Yes. I too developed one after two lymph nodes removed. I applied a hot compressed as often as possible. It lasted for about a month.

Fe H .. did you have it aspirated at all? How big was it? Thank you.

I had the same issue. However other than some pain with movement my plastic surgeon said it would do more harm to go back in and remove the fluid.
