A seroma is a fluid buildup under the surface of the skin. It may develop after a surgery such as body contouring surgeries, breast augmentation, or hernia repair at the surgical incision site. Seromas are characterized by a balloon-like skin swelling with a feeling of fluid movement under the skin. The treatment for seromas involves needle aspiration (a process of draining the fluid with a needle).
