| Summary: | Abdominoplasty is one of the most popular aesthetic body contouring procedures.
Seroma formation is the most common early complication after abdominoplasty. Usually, it resolves
with punctions and seroma evacuation. Chronic seroma and pseudocyst formation is a rare complication

needs to be radically extirpated and a combination of quilting sutures, fibrin glue, three weeks
of suction drainage, and compressive garments should be used to prevent recurrence. |
