and abdominoplasty I pick the Suresult L14Pro at {{SRX_PRICE:31438}}, because its 20 to 80 mm presets hold the flap, the collection and the fascia in one view. Examination found a seroma in 35% and ultrasound in 90% of 60 women two weeks after abdominoplasty (Andrades 2007); the one published tap threshold is a collection over 20 cc above the fascia (Nahas 2007). Color, Power and PW Doppler and Needle Enhance come with the probe for the tap. Serial scans put the peak on day 11, at 38.1% (Di Martino 2015). An office series of 310 abdominoplasties averaged 3.5 guided taps per seroma (Swanson 2023). For the encapsulated seroma, capsulectomy cured 6 of 6 in one series and, with negative-pressure therapy, 15 of 15 recurrent chronic seromas in another, 5 of them post-traumatic (di Summa 2013; Marangi 2020). Below are the look of a seroma and its look-alikes, the rescan calendar, the tap threshold, the guided technique step by step and six handhelds ranked for the work.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sr-author-meta\"><span><b>Updated<\/b> November 2, 2026<\/span><\/div>\n<section aria-label=\"Reviewed by Suresult clinical authors\" class=\"srx-author-panel sr-author-panel\">\n<p class=\"srx-author-kicker\">Written and clinically reviewed by<\/p>\n<div class=\"srx-author-list\">\n<article class=\"srx-author-card sr-author-card\" data-sr-author=\"fernando-mariz-md\"><span aria-label=\"Verified author\" class=\"srx-verified-badge\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M3.5 8.4l2.9 2.9 6.1-6.6\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg><\/span><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt=\"Fernando Mariz, MD\" class=\"srx-author-portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fernando-mariz-md-author-avatar.png\"\/><\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"srx-author-name\">Fernando Mariz, MD<\/p>\n<p class=\"srx-author-role\">Gynecology, pelvic surgery, women\u2019s health and sonography<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<details class=\"srx-author-details\">\n<summary>About Dr. Mariz<\/summary>\n<p>I\u2019m Dr. Fernando Mariz, a gynecology and pelvic surgery physician practicing in New York City.

I traced every rate, depth, volume and threshold below to its primary paper, then scored one handheld per maker on seven criteria fixed on November 1, 2026, before any rival had a score: the Suresult L14Pro, Mindray TE Air e5M, Clarius L7 HD3, Butterfly iQ3, GE Vscan Air CL and Philips L12-4, with the Suresult L20Pro, L14 and L20 scored inside the Suresult card.

Mean skin-to-fascia depth runs 37 to 42 mm across four abdominal regions before large-volume liposuction, inside the 60 mm preset, and 21 to 22 mm a week after it, inside the 40 mm preset (Sudha 2026), so the flap, the fluid and the fascia stay on one screen. All three Doppler modes, Needle Enhance and both puncture guides ship with the probe, the Suresult app turns three diameters into a volume, and cine holds 1,000 frames, about 165 seconds. Five years of ownership cost {{SRX_PRICE:31438}}, with no subscription. For thin flaps and pockets within 40 mm, the L20Pro ({{SRX_PRICE:31250}}) in the same card brings 16\/20 MHz.<\/p>\n<p>The Mindray TE Air e5M ranks second at 86.1: Color, Power and PW Doppler, a B-mode Volume tool, Extended FOV, iNeedle and the VA Grid in a $4,499 purchase, checked November 1, 2026, with no subscription.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"comparison\">\n<h2>Seroma scanners compared: six handhelds side by side<\/h2>\n<p>The Suresult L14Pro leads the six at 95.0\/100, with presets to 80 mm, all three Doppler modes and Needle Enhance in its price. Each handheld, one per maker, is compared on what a post-operative fluid check uses: depth for the flap, the collection and the fascia beneath it, Doppler to clear the superficial epigastric vessels before a tap, a needle aid in the scan plane, a volume from three diameters, and the software each scored tool needs over five years.

After abdominoplasty it lies under the flap, on the abdominal fascia: Alfonso 2022 scanned every patient at 12 MHz when the closure device&#8217;s manifold came out and over any swelling, found seromas in 3 of 71 full abdominoplasties (4.2%) on days 14, 18 and 23, cleared each with 1 to 3 aspirations, and saw no fluid on any scan after day 30. After large-volume liposuction, Sudha 2026 counted any hypoechoic area over 1 cm between the subcutaneous fat and the fascia as a collection and found one in 42 of 50 patients (84%) a week after surgery, most prominently in the flanks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"sr-ser-fig sr-ser-fig--hero\" id=\"figure-alfonso-fig6\" data-sr-media=\"alfonso-fig6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/alfonso-2022-fig6-abdominal-seroma-ultrasound.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/alfonso-2022-fig6-abdominal-seroma-ultrasound.jpg\" alt=\"Two ultrasound panels of an abdominal seroma above the fascia after abdominoplasty, before and after partial drainage, with the cavity lining labeled\" width=\"733\" height=\"275\"><\/a><figcaption>(A) About 200 cc of seroma on the abdominal fascia three weeks after abdominoplasty, at 12 MHz on a 4 cm display; (B) the same cavity after partial drainage, its bursa lining labeled.

In a blinded randomized trial of 60 women, evaluators found a seroma in 35% by examination and in 90% by ultrasound two weeks after abdominoplasty (Andrades 2007), and ultrasound in 56 of 80 abdominoplasty patients found fluid collections in 29 (51.8%), 24 seromas and 5 hematomas (Mohammad 1998). Fluctuance is a clear sign of a collection, while a small one is hard to separate from post-operative edema by hand (Swanson 2018, office ultrasound series). The field has no agreed definition of a clinically significant seroma (Vidal 2017), and among the abdominoplasty studies pooled by Liao 2024, 7 diagnosed seroma clinically, 3 by ultrasound and 6 by both, with 4 unspecified. A scan settles the question at the visit, and the timing section below sets the rescan calendar.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"sr-ser-fig\" id=\"figure-alfonso-fig5\" data-sr-media=\"alfonso-fig5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/alfonso-2022-fig5-abdominoplasty-flap-layers-ultrasound.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/alfonso-2022-fig5-abdominoplasty-flap-layers-ultrasound.jpg\" alt=\"Six ultrasound panels of the abdominal wall after abdominoplasty with skin, Scarpa&#x27;s fascia and abdominal fascia labeled, the last one showing a seroma\" width=\"750\" height=\"329\"><\/a><figcaption>The dry abdominoplasty flap at 12 MHz in panels A to E, with the skin, Scarpa&#8217;s fascia and the abdominal fascia labeled, and a seroma under the flap in panel F.

Fluid drawn from post-abdominoplasty seromas in 18 women was an exudate, inflammatory in the first week and taking on some features of lymph by days 15 to 20, with protein, LDH and cholesterol levels below those of blood and above those of lymph (Andrades and Prado 2007). Neither collection shows flow inside it on color Doppler, and Masino 2025 uses that absent internal signal to separate a hematoma from a tumor or an abscess, whose wall can be hyperemic. B-mode and color Doppler are limited for active bleeding, which contrast-enhanced ultrasound shows as microbubbles escaping the vessel (Pistoia 2025).<\/p>\n<div class=\"sr-table-wrap sr-comp sr-ser-t-collections sr-ser-stack sr-ser-incidence sr-ser-incidence--labelled\">\n<table id=\"table-collections\">\n<caption>Fluid collections after body contouring on B-mode and color Doppler, by type and age.<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Collection<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Echo pattern<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Margins, wall and contents<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Color Doppler<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Timing or setting<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Source<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Collection\"><b>Seroma<\/b><\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Echo pattern\">Anechoic and homogeneous<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Margins, wall and contents\">Well-defined margins; compressible<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Color Doppler\">No flow inside the collection<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Timing or setting\">Under the abdominoplasty flap or between fat and fascia after liposuction; peak on day 11 of serial scans<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Source\">Masino 2025; Alfonso 2022; Sudha 2026; Di Martino 2015<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Collection\"><b>Hematoma, hyperacute<\/b><\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Echo pattern\">Hyperechoic, from fresh coagulated blood<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Margins, wall and contents\">Turns anechoic as the clot liquefies, and can enlarge<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Color Doppler\">Active bleeding shows on contrast-enhanced ultrasound as microbubble leakage<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Timing or setting\">The first, hyperacute phase<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Source\">Pistoia 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Collection\"><b>Hematoma, acute<\/b><\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Echo pattern\">Anechoic or mildly hypoechoic, with fine echoes<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Margins, wall and contents\">Usually compressible; margins poorly defined early<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Color Doppler\">No internal flow; mild peripheral hyperemia in some<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Timing or setting\">0\u201348 hours<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Source\">Masino 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Collection\"><b>Hematoma, early subacute<\/b><\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Echo pattern\">Heterogeneous, with echogenic sediment<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Margins, wall and contents\">Fine septations; fluid-fluid levels in some<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Color Doppler\">No internal vascularity; peripheral hyperemia persists in some<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Timing or setting\">3\u20137 days<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Source\">Masino 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Collection\"><b>Hematoma, late subacute<\/b><\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Echo pattern\">More complex internal echoes<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Margins, wall and contents\">Thin capsule; partial organization<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Color Doppler\">Avascular inside; mild peripheral flow in some<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Timing or setting\">1\u20133 weeks<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Source\">Masino 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Collection\"><b>Hematoma, chronic<\/b><\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Echo pattern\">Hypoechoic or mixed<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Margins, wall and contents\">Well defined, with a capsule; peripheral calcification or echogenic septa in some<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Color Doppler\">No internal flow; thin reactive rim<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Timing or setting\">Beyond 3\u20136 weeks<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Source\">Masino 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Collection\"><b>Post-surgical abscess<\/b><\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Echo pattern\">Complex, hypoechoic or anechoic<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Margins, wall and contents\">Thick, irregular, ill-defined wall; variably compressible<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Color Doppler\">Hyperemia around the wall in some; no significant flow in the published figure case<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Timing or setting\">Along a scar with fever, 2 weeks after surgery in the published figure case<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Source\">Masino 2025; Porrello 2022; Soliman 2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Collection\"><b>Oil cyst (cystic fat necrosis)<\/b><\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Echo pattern\">Anechoic and oval<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Margins, wall and contents\">Sharp, well-defined edge with a capsule; posterior enhancement<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Color Doppler\">No flow in the published case<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Timing or setting\">Knee subcutis after trauma, at 14 MHz<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Source\">de Wilde 2022<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>One published case shows both collections in the same patient.

Clinically, the post-op seroma mostly presents 2 to 3 weeks after abdominoplasty (Dujmovi\u0107 2022). Earlier work from the same group scanned five abdominal regions on days 11 to 14 and 18 to 21: abdominoplasty without quilting sutures had the highest seroma rate at both scans, and after lipoabdominoplasty the largest collections sat in the hypogastrium (Di Martino 2010).

For a seroma, the office tap series set the clock: Swanson 2023 made the first tap at a mean of day 11.6 (8 to 15) and the last at day 21 (8 to 38), and Alfonso 2022 found no fluid on any scan after day 30. A larger hematoma after abdominoplasty arrives sooner, usually in the first 24 hours, as swelling, localized pain and ecchymosis; a small one can be needle-aspirated, and a large active bleed brings hemodynamic instability (Vidal 2017).

Added liposuction: seroma rose from 16.0% to 31.2% when liposuction joined the abdominoplasty, and flank liposuction raised the odds 3.3-fold (Najera 2011). Sex, for hematoma: men had major hematomas at 1.4% against 0.9% in women, and male sex carried a relative risk of 1.98 on multivariate analysis (Kaoutzanis 2017). Progressive tension sutures cut seroma against drains, RR 0.34 across 24 studies (Rao 2024), and tranexamic acid lowered its odds, OR 0.51 across 7 studies (Almahzoum 2026).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"size\">\n<h2>What counts as a large seroma: seroma size, volume and the tap threshold<\/h2>\n<p>A large seroma, by the one published tap threshold, holds more than 20 cc above the fascia on ultrasound, and seroma size is followed as a volume from three diameters at each visit.

One office series ran every tap under ultrasound guidance, 15 seromas in 310 abdominoplasties, with no hematomas (Swanson 2023), and a case report drained a recurring right-lower-quadrant seroma after abdominal liposuction the same way (Glashofer 2005). Here is how to aspirate a seroma in six steps.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Check the entry on Doppler.<\/strong> Map the superficial epigastric vessels along the planned path before the needle goes in: at the level of the anterior superior iliac spine the superficial inferior epigastric vein lies a mean 3.5 mm deep, deeper as BMI rises, and the artery, found at that level on 22% of sides, a mean 4.9 mm (Kuo 2025, 48 MHz, 50 hemiabdomens). The reason is on record: a 430 mL subcutaneous abdominal-wall hematoma followed a rectus sheath block, with the superficial epigastric artery its most probable source (Shiraishi 2025). <a href=\"\/best-portable-doppler-ultrasound\/#doppler-by-exam\">Which Doppler mode shows what<\/a> is set out in the Doppler guide.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"sr-ser-step\" data-sr-step=\"2\">\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Plan the path in-plane.<\/strong> With the needle along the probe&#8217;s long axis, the whole shaft shows as a bright line down to the tip; out-of-plane, the needle crosses the beam and shows only as a dot where it meets it (Saraiva 2026).

The ultrasound-guided office series averaged 3.5 taps per seroma (1\u20137), with mean first and last taps on day 11.6 and day 21 (Swanson 2023); Swanson&#8217;s earlier 551-case study averaged 5 office aspirations (1\u201312) for its 9 clinical seromas, the last at a mean of day 28 (Swanson 2013).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"pseudobursa\">\n<h2>Pseudobursa after a tummy tuck: the encapsulated seroma and its seroma capsule<\/h2>\n<p>A pseudobursa is an encapsulated seroma: fluid held inside a seroma capsule of collagen sheets with no epithelial lining, which multiple aspirations do not relieve. Ersek and Schade 1990 described it in 9 patients after abdominolipectomy combined with suction, and advised waiting at least 6 weeks between suction and the largest resections. On ultrasound the chronic form shows fluid inside a dense fibrous capsule: in one woman the swelling began in week 3 after a tummy tuck and was still present at 3 years, about 540 mL of blood-tinged serous fluid was aspirated, and capsulectomy with a revision abdominoplasty ended it (Goldman 2018).<\/p>\n<p>Capsulectomy is the cure the series agree on. In 6 patients whose scars turned asymmetric 3 months after abdominoplasty, ultrasound confirmed an encapsulated chronic seroma, and capsulectomy under local anesthesia worked in all 6 with no recurrence (di Summa 2013). Capsulectomy with negative-pressure wound therapy resolved all 15 recurrent chronic seromas in another series, 10 post-operative and 5 Morel-Lavall\u00e9e lesions, with no recurrence (Marangi 2020). Roje 2006 evacuated a pseudobursa under ultrasound many times, 2,010 mL at one sitting, then excised it at a mini-abdominoplasty with progressive tension sutures, and it had not recurred at 3 months. The chronic seroma management ladder runs the same way: repeated puncture and aspiration resolves most seromas, bleomycin, doxycycline and talc have been used for recurrent ones, and surgery comes last (Vidal 2017).<\/p>\n<p>The volume drawn flags recurrence early. In Morel-Lavall\u00e9e lesions, aspirates over 50 mL came from 83% of the lesions that recurred against 33% of those that resolved, a well-developed pseudocapsule raised recurrence after aspiration and compression, and doxycycline sclerodesis resolved all 16 lesions that had failed simple aspiration (Molina 2021). One case report treated a recurring collection under an abdominoplasty flap, first drained of 440 cc, with a 50 cc aspiration and 15 mg of bleomycin, and ultrasound confirmed its resolution (Kiper 2026). A late cyst after liposuction can also be lymphatic: a thigh collection first read as a pseudobursa proved a lymphocele on lymphoscintigraphy and was resected after drainage failed (Wang 2017).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"sr-ser-fig\" id=\"figure-leach-fig1\" data-sr-media=\"leach-fig1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leach-2020-fig1-morel-lavallee-collection-ultrasound.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leach-2020-fig1-morel-lavallee-collection-ultrasound.jpg\" alt=\"Ultrasound of a hypoechoic fluid collection between deep fat and fascia over the sacrum after trauma, with calipers\" width=\"669\" height=\"710\"><\/a><figcaption>The trauma counterpart: a hypoechoic Morel-Lavall\u00e9e collection between the deep subcutaneous fat and the fascia over the sacrum, measured with calipers against a 1\u20137 cm scale.

An abdominal-wall abscess is a superficial, complex collection with ill-defined margins, predominantly hypoechoic, and color Doppler can show peripheral hyperemia (Porrello 2022); a subcutaneous abscess is variably compressible with a hyperemic wall (Soliman 2024). Infection is the second most common complication of abdominoplasty, at an estimated 1% to 3.8% in Vidal 2017&#8217;s review, which also pictures an infected seroma two weeks after a lipoabdominoplasty. At the bedside, point-of-care ultrasound found skin and soft-tissue abscesses with 94.6% sensitivity and 85.4% specificity across 14 studies and 2,656 patients, and with 98.7% and 91.0% in adults (Gottlieb 2020). Mycobacterium abscessus after liposuction runs slower: symptoms appeared about a month after surgery, and identifying the organism took a mean of 33 days from presentation (Tuan 2024).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"sr-ser-fig\" id=\"figure-porrello-fig1\" data-sr-media=\"porrello-fig1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/porrello-2022-fig1-postsurgical-abscess-ultrasound-doppler.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/porrello-2022-fig1-postsurgical-abscess-ultrasound-doppler.jpg\" alt=\"B-mode, color Doppler and CT views of an abscess along a surgical scar in the abdominal wall\" width=\"799\" height=\"362\"><\/a><figcaption>A post-surgical abscess along the scar two weeks after splenectomy: the collection on B-mode, the same collection on color Doppler with no significant flow inside it, and the CT view.

At 20 MHz, Claytor 2021 scanned three fixed points after medial thigh liposuction and graded induration, edema and fibrous banding at weeks 1, 2, 4, 7 and 10, reading a brighter image as denser tissue. At secondary liposuction, a year or more after the first, intraoperative ultrasound improved the detection of fibrotic lesions (Tambasco 2025). Reported rates run from 1% for fibrosis or induration after isolated liposuction (Aljerian 2024) through 2.3% over five years of follow-up (Gentile 2026) to transient fibrosis in 2.7% after high-definition liposuction (Willet 2023) and 3.2% after deep trunk liposuction (Valente 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Fibrosis after liposuction responds to physiotherapy: twelve sessions of therapeutic ultrasound followed by manual lymphatic drainage, three a week, reduced fibrosis, swelling and pain in 18 women a mean of 70 days after liposuction or lipoabdominoplasty (Masson 2014), and a review of 7 studies found manual lymphatic drainage reduced swelling after cosmetic surgery such as liposuction and abdominoplasty, with better results when started on days 2 to 5 and given in 6 to 12 sessions (Alsairefi 2026).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"bbl\">\n<h2>BBL donor and recipient sites: seromas, fat necrosis cysts and guided fat placement<\/h2>\n<p>After a BBL, seromas collect at the donor site: in 185 buttock augmentations with ultrasonic liposuction and ultrasound-guided fat grafting, seroma was the most common complication, 10 patients (5.41%), mostly in the lower anterior abdomen, and every one was drained successfully (Elsaftawy 2024). The recipient site raises a different collection: a soft-tissue blowout deformity after gluteal fat transfer often holds a fat necrosis cyst, which is evacuated through a liposuction cannula with its capsule fenestrated, or removed through a direct buttock-lift incision (Costa 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Ultrasound already guides the grafting. The Aesthetic Society&#8217;s practice advisory calls for ultrasound-guided documentation of cannula placement before and during fat injection, and caps BBL at 3 cases a day (Del Vecchio 2022). BAAPS states that intraoperative ultrasound guides subcutaneous fat placement and avoids inadvertent deep lipofilling (Tillo 2023). Yet in a survey of 178 board-certified plastic surgeons, 48% of those performing BBL, 80 surgeons, did not use ultrasound (Finkelstein 2023). One office&#8217;s year of scans shows the same probe working after surgery: of 1,000 scans, 28 checked post-operative abdomens for seromas, 10 drained seromas, 4 evaluated buttock abscesses and 3 assessed buttock fat injection during surgery (Swanson 2018, office ultrasound series).<\/p>\n<div class=\"sr-table-wrap sr-comp sr-ser-t-bbl sr-ser-stack sr-ser-incidence sr-ser-incidence--labelled\">\n<table id=\"table-bbl\">\n<caption>Seroma and other findings after BBL and ultrasound-guided gluteal fat grafting.<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Series<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Seroma<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Other findings<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Source<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Series\"><b>7,000 consecutive BBL procedures<\/b><\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Seroma\">Seroma (23%) listed among the minor complications<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Other findings\">Anemia 6.6%, fat necrosis 1.9%, infection 0.43%, hematoma 0.14%<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Source\">G\u00fczey 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Series\"><b>1,815 patients, ultrasound-guided gluteal fat transfer<\/b><\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Seroma\">1.2%<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Other findings\">Complications 4%; skin ischemia 1.2%; surgical site infection 0.8%; no macroscopic fat embolism and no deaths<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Source\">Vidal-Laureano 2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Series\"><b>4 studies, 6,235 women, ultrasound-guided grafting<\/b><\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Seroma\">2.94 per 100<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Other findings\">Minor complications 6.32 per 100; fat necrosis 0.09 per 100; infection 0.23 per 100; mortality and embolism 0<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Source\">Milani Reis 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Series\"><b>185 buttock augmentations, ultrasound-guided grafting<\/b><\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Seroma\">10 patients (5.41%), mostly in the lower anterior abdomen; all drained<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Other findings\">One abscess (0.54%); no liponecrosis<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"Source\">Elsaftawy 2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sr-ser-beside sr-ser-beside--portrait\">\n<p>Gluteal fat sits within a linear&#8217;s reach.

a mode included in the purchase earns its full points, one behind a paid tier half, and a missing mode none.<\/li>\n<li>Needle guidance (15): 7 for a needle-enhancement mode and 8 for in-plane or out-of-plane guide lines, a needle-path overlay or biplane, on the same full, half and none rule; I read an access grid and a centerline or midline marker the maker names for needle work as guide lines.<\/li>\n<li>Measurement and volume (10): 3 for distance and area calipers, 4 for a volume from three diameters or an ellipsoid tool, and 3 for an extended field of view or panoramic imaging, on the same full, half and none rule; I credited volume only where a general preset offers it, so a bladder-only volume tool scores nothing here.<\/li>\n<li>Records (5): 2 for cine of 60 seconds or more, 1 for app or on-device storage plus DICOM export and 2 for a visit comparison or report; I credited a report or worksheet built from a general exam.<\/li>\n<li>Five-year cost (15): 15 \u00d7 the lowest five-year total among the six card leads \u00f7 this card&#8217;s total, each total carrying the cheapest published route to the scored tools;

The L14 matches the L14Pro on every criterion but needle guidance, where its puncture guides earn 8 and the L14Pro&#8217;s Needle Enhance adds the other 7. The L20 and L20Pro take full detail, Doppler and needle points at 16\/20 MHz and 0 on depth, since their presets run to 40 mm, where the depth criterion starts counting, and the L20Pro&#8217;s {{SRX_PRICE:31250}} scores 13.88 on cost. That depth is why the L14Pro leads the card.<\/p>\n<p>I reran the order the six declared ways and under fifteen alternative readings of the sources. The L14Pro stays first in the declared run; with the cost, depth or measurement criterion removed; with every rival&#8217;s paid needle and Doppler tools counted as included; and in all thirteen single-reading checks. Four runs change the top of the order. S3 moves full depth credit out to 100 mm, past the L14Pro&#8217;s 80 mm preset, and puts the Mindray 1.1 points ahead; pockets that deep go to the convex D3Ultra or C5SH-Pro. S5 scores the card on the L20Pro, whose 40 mm ceiling earns 0 on depth, which is why the L14Pro leads the card. RC14 stacks every reading that favors the rivals, S3 and S6 among them, and puts the Butterfly iQ3 first at 89.2 with the L14Pro third at 85.0; RC15 adds three narrowing readings to RC14, and the L14Pro moves up to second.

After abdominoplasty it lies on the fascia under the flap (Alfonso 2022); after large-volume liposuction, Sudha 2026 counted any hypoechoic area over 1 cm between fat and fascia as a collection.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How do you tell a seroma from a hematoma on ultrasound?<\/summary>\n<p>A seroma is serous fluid and a hematoma is blood, and on ultrasound they differ by their echoes and how they age. A seroma stays anechoic and uniform. A hematoma starts bright with fresh clot, darkens as it liquefies, shows sediment, septations and fluid-fluid levels at 3 to 7 days and grows a thin capsule at 1 to 3 weeks (Pistoia 2025; Masino 2025), and neither holds flow on color Doppler.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How is a seroma found after a tummy tuck?<\/summary>\n<p>A seroma after a tummy tuck is found with an ultrasound scan, since examination misses most of them: two weeks after abdominoplasty, blinded evaluators found a seroma in 35% of 60 women by examination and in 90% by ultrasound (Andrades 2007). Ultrasound in 56 of 80 abdominoplasty patients found fluid in 29, 51.8% (Mohammad 1998), and the seroma rate peaked at 38.1% on day 11 of serial scans (Di Martino 2015).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>When is a seroma worth aspirating after abdominoplasty?<\/summary>\n<p>A seroma is worth aspirating after abdominoplasty when ultrasound shows more than 20 cc above the fascia, the one published tap threshold: of 21 women scanned on days 15 to 18, Nahas 2007 tapped the two over that line, and neither recurred. An ultrasound-guided office series made its first tap at a mean of day 11.6, between day 8 and day 15 (Swanson 2023).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What counts as a large seroma?<\/summary>\n<p>A large seroma holds more than 20 cc above the fascia on ultrasound, by the one published tap threshold, against a routine mean of 8.2 cc on days 15 to 18 after abdominoplasty (Nahas 2007). Tapped volumes ran to 700 mL: the 15 seromas tapped after 310 abdominoplasties gave a mean aspirate of 112 mL, from 5 to 700 (Swanson 2023), and one evacuation of a pseudobursa drew 2,010 mL (Roje 2006).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How many times can a seroma be drained?<\/summary>\n<p>Seromas were drained a mean of 3.5 times, from 1 to 7, in an ultrasound-guided office series of 15 seromas after 310 abdominoplasties (Swanson 2023); the same surgeon&#8217;s earlier series averaged 5, from 1 to 12 (Swanson 2013). A collection that keeps refilling points to a capsule, which repeated aspiration does not relieve; capsulectomy cured 6 of 6 encapsulated seromas in one series and, with negative-pressure therapy, 15 of 15 recurrent chronic seromas in another, 5 of them post-traumatic (di Summa 2013; Marangi 2020).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How long is too long for a seroma?<\/summary>\n<p>A seroma has run too long once it outlasts the weeks in which office taps clear it: the last tap fell at a mean of day 21 (8 to 38) in an office series of 310 abdominoplasties (Swanson 2023) and day 28 (15 to 43) in one of 167 (Swanson 2013), and a collection still refilling after that points to a capsule (Ersek and Schade 1990). On serial scans the ultrasound rate halved from 38.1% on day 11 to 19% on day 32 (Di Martino 2015), and after large-volume liposuction every collection had gone by one month (Sudha 2026). A hematoma of uncertain features that persists beyond 4 to 6 weeks goes on to further imaging (Masino 2025).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How is an ultrasound-guided seroma aspiration done, and what size needle?<\/summary>\n<p>An ultrasound-guided seroma aspiration is done in plane, after a Doppler check of the entry, with the needle sized to the fluid: an 18 G sheathed needle drained a recurrent post-traumatic collection of serous fluid (Leach 2020), and large-bore needles suit thick fluid (Molina 2021). Map the superficial epigastric vessels on the path first, bring the needle in along the probe&#8217;s long axis so the whole shaft shows (Saraiva 2026), keep the tip in the cavity as it empties, and rescan before the dressing.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is a pseudobursa after abdominoplasty, and can it be tapped away?<\/summary>\n<p>A pseudobursa after abdominoplasty is an encapsulated seroma, and taps alone do not clear it: the fluid sits inside a capsule of collagen with no epithelial lining, which multiple aspirations do not relieve (Ersek and Schade 1990). On ultrasound it shows as fluid inside a dense fibrous capsule (Goldman 2018). Capsulectomy is the cure: 6 of 6 with no recurrence (di Summa 2013), and 15 of 15 recurrent chronic seromas, 5 of them post-traumatic, with negative-pressure therapy (Marangi 2020).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How does an infected seroma or abscess look on the scan?<\/summary>\n<p>An abscess is complex and hypoechoic, with a thick, irregular, ill-defined wall that color Doppler can show hyperemic, against a seroma&#8217;s sharp margin and absent flow (Masino 2025; Porrello 2022). Vidal 2017 pictures an infected seroma two weeks after a lipoabdominoplasty, and point-of-care ultrasound finds skin and soft-tissue abscesses with 94.6% sensitivity and 85.4% specificity (Gottlieb 2020).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Does fibrosis after liposuction show on ultrasound?<\/summary>\n<p>Fibrosis after liposuction shows on ultrasound as bright fibrous strands in the subcutaneous fat, the opposite of a seroma&#8217;s dark pocket; a review pictures them 6 weeks after an abdominoplasty (Widgerow 2026). At 20 MHz, a medial-thigh liposuction study graded induration, edema and fibrous banding at fixed points from week 1 to week 10 (Claytor 2021). A course of therapeutic ultrasound and manual lymphatic drainage reduced the fibrosis in 18 women treated a mean of 70 days after surgery (Masson 2014).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What causes a seroma after a tummy tuck, and what raises the rate?<\/summary>\n<p>A tummy tuck disrupts the lymphatic system under the flap, and the space fills with fluid that starts as an inflammatory exudate (Alsairefi 2026; Andrades and Prado 2007); a high BMI and liposuction added to the abdominoplasty raise the rate. After massive weight loss, a BMI of 30 or more carried seroma in 4.4% against 1.5% (Borriello 2026); adding liposuction lifted seroma from 16.0% to 31.2%, and flank liposuction raised the odds 3.3-fold (Najera 2011). Progressive tension sutures in place of drains lower it, RR 0.34 (Rao 2024), and so does tranexamic acid, OR 0.51 (Almahzoum 2026).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What depth and frequency does an abdominal seroma scan need?<\/summary>\n<p>An abdominal seroma scan needs a linear of 7 to 15 MHz or higher, with a curvilinear probe in reserve for deep collections (Pistoia 2025), on a depth that keeps the fascia in view. Mean skin-to-fascia depth ran 37 to 42 mm across four abdominal regions before large-volume liposuction and 21 to 22 mm a week after it (Sudha 2026), the buttock&#8217;s superficial fat averages about 2 cm (Cotofana 2020), and a recurrent post-traumatic collection over the sacrum lay about 4 to 5.5 cm deep (Leach 2020).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Which handheld fits a plastic surgery office for seroma checks?<\/summary>\n<p>I pick the Suresult L14Pro at {{SRX_PRICE:31438}}, 95.0\/100 in my ranking: its presets to 80 mm keep the fascia in frame under mean skin-to-fascia depths of 37 to 42 mm before large-volume liposuction, at 10\/14 MHz with Color, Power and PW Doppler, Needle Enhance and a volume from three diameters. For thin flaps and pockets within 40 mm, the L20Pro ({{SRX_PRICE:31250}}) brings 16\/20 MHz on the same Pro kit. The Mindray TE Air e5M follows at 86.1, with all three Doppler modes, both needle tools and the full measurement set for $4,499, checked November 1, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"related\">\n<h2>Related guides<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"sr-ser-related\">\n<li><a href=\"\/specialty\/handheld-ultrasound-for-plastic-surgery\/\">Handheld ultrasound for plastic surgery<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/best-portable-linear-ultrasound-probe\/\">Handheld linear ultrasound probes, ranked<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/high-frequency-ultrasound-machine\/\">High-frequency ultrasound machines: choosing 15, 20 or 24 MHz<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/best-portable-doppler-ultrasound\/\">Portable Doppler ultrasound, compared<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/best-no-subscription-handheld-ultrasound\/\">No-subscription handheld ultrasound machines<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/clarius-ultrasound-price-subscription-cost-2026\/\">Clarius ultrasound price and subscription cost in 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"sources\">\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"sr-sources\">\n<li id=\"source-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/01.prs.0000253445.76991.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Andrades P, Prado A, Danilla S, et al.

[{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What does a seroma look like on ultrasound?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A seroma on ultrasound is a black pocket of fluid: anechoic, compressible, sharply marginated and without flow on color Doppler (Masino 2025). After abdominoplasty it lies on the fascia under the flap (Alfonso 2022); after large-volume liposuction, Sudha 2026 counted any hypoechoic area over 1 cm between fat and fascia as a collection.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How do you tell a seroma from a hematoma on ultrasound?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A seroma is serous fluid and a hematoma is blood, and on ultrasound they differ by their echoes and how they age. A seroma stays anechoic and uniform. A hematoma starts bright with fresh clot, darkens as it liquefies, shows sediment, septations and fluid-fluid levels at 3 to 7 days and grows a thin capsule at 1 to 3 weeks (Pistoia 2025; Masino 2025), and neither holds flow on color Doppler.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How is a seroma found after a tummy tuck?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A seroma after a tummy tuck is found with an ultrasound scan, since examination misses most of them: two weeks after abdominoplasty, blinded evaluators found a seroma in 35% of 60 women by examination and in 90% by ultrasound (Andrades 2007). Ultrasound in 56 of 80 abdominoplasty patients found fluid in 29, 51.8% (Mohammad 1998), and the seroma rate peaked at 38.1% on day 11 of serial scans (Di Martino 2015).\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"When is a seroma worth aspirating after abdominoplasty?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A seroma is worth aspirating after abdominoplasty when ultrasound shows more than 20 cc above the fascia, the one published tap threshold: of 21 women scanned on days 15 to 18, Nahas 2007 tapped the two over that line, and neither recurred. An ultrasound-guided office series made its first tap at a mean of day 11.6, between day 8 and day 15 (Swanson 2023).\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What counts as a large seroma?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A large seroma holds more than 20 cc above the fascia on ultrasound, by the one published tap threshold, against a routine mean of 8.2 cc on days 15 to 18 after abdominoplasty (Nahas 2007). Tapped volumes ran to 700 mL: the 15 seromas tapped after 310 abdominoplasties gave a mean aspirate of 112 mL, from 5 to 700 (Swanson 2023), and one evacuation of a pseudobursa drew 2,010 mL (Roje 2006).\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How many times can a seroma be drained?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Seromas were drained a mean of 3.5 times, from 1 to 7, in an ultrasound-guided office series of 15 seromas after 310 abdominoplasties (Swanson 2023); the same surgeon's earlier series averaged 5, from 1 to 12 (Swanson 2013). A collection that keeps refilling points to a capsule, which repeated aspiration does not relieve; capsulectomy cured 6 of 6 encapsulated seromas in one series and, with negative-pressure therapy, 15 of 15 recurrent chronic seromas in another, 5 of them post-traumatic (di Summa 2013; Marangi 2020).\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How long is too long for a seroma?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A seroma has run too long once it outlasts the weeks in which office taps clear it: the last tap fell at a mean of day 21 (8 to 38) in an office series of 310 abdominoplasties (Swanson 2023) and day 28 (15 to 43) in one of 167 (Swanson 2013), and a collection still refilling after that points to a capsule (Ersek and Schade 1990). On serial scans the ultrasound rate halved from 38.1% on day 11 to 19% on day 32 (Di Martino 2015), and after large-volume liposuction every collection had gone by one month (Sudha 2026). A hematoma of uncertain features that persists beyond 4 to 6 weeks goes on to further imaging (Masino 2025).\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How is an ultrasound-guided seroma aspiration done, and what size needle?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"An ultrasound-guided seroma aspiration is done in plane, after a Doppler check of the entry, with the needle sized to the fluid: an 18 G sheathed needle drained a recurrent post-traumatic collection of serous fluid (Leach 2020), and large-bore needles suit thick fluid (Molina 2021). Map the superficial epigastric vessels on the path first, bring the needle in along the probe's long axis so the whole shaft shows (Saraiva 2026), keep the tip in the cavity as it empties, and rescan before the dressing.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is a pseudobursa after abdominoplasty, and can it be tapped away?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A pseudobursa after abdominoplasty is an encapsulated seroma, and taps alone do not clear it: the fluid sits inside a capsule of collagen with no epithelial lining, which multiple aspirations do not relieve (Ersek and Schade 1990). On ultrasound it shows as fluid inside a dense fibrous capsule (Goldman 2018). Capsulectomy is the cure: 6 of 6 with no recurrence (di Summa 2013), and 15 of 15 recurrent chronic seromas, 5 of them post-traumatic, with negative-pressure therapy (Marangi 2020).\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How does an infected seroma or abscess look on the scan?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"An abscess is complex and hypoechoic, with a thick, irregular, ill-defined wall that color Doppler can show hyperemic, against a seroma's sharp margin and absent flow (Masino 2025; Porrello 2022). Vidal 2017 pictures an infected seroma two weeks after a lipoabdominoplasty, and point-of-care ultrasound finds skin and soft-tissue abscesses with 94.6% sensitivity and 85.4% specificity (Gottlieb 2020).\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Does fibrosis after liposuction show on ultrasound?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Fibrosis after liposuction shows on ultrasound as bright fibrous strands in the subcutaneous fat, the opposite of a seroma's dark pocket; a review pictures them 6 weeks after an abdominoplasty (Widgerow 2026). At 20 MHz, a medial-thigh liposuction study graded induration, edema and fibrous banding at fixed points from week 1 to week 10 (Claytor 2021). A course of therapeutic ultrasound and manual lymphatic drainage reduced the fibrosis in 18 women treated a mean of 70 days after surgery (Masson 2014).\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What causes a seroma after a tummy tuck, and what raises the rate?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A tummy tuck disrupts the lymphatic system under the flap, and the space fills with fluid that starts as an inflammatory exudate (Alsairefi 2026; Andrades and Prado 2007); a high BMI and liposuction added to the abdominoplasty raise the rate. After massive weight loss, a BMI of 30 or more carried seroma in 4.4% against 1.5% (Borriello 2026); adding liposuction lifted seroma from 16.0% to 31.2%, and flank liposuction raised the odds 3.3-fold (Najera 2011). Progressive tension sutures in place of drains lower it, RR 0.34 (Rao 2024), and so does tranexamic acid, OR 0.51 (Almahzoum 2026).\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What depth and frequency does an abdominal seroma scan need?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"An abdominal seroma scan needs a linear of 7 to 15 MHz or higher, with a curvilinear probe in reserve for deep collections (Pistoia 2025), on a depth that keeps the fascia in view. Mean skin-to-fascia depth ran 37 to 42 mm across four abdominal regions before large-volume liposuction and 21 to 22 mm a week after it (Sudha 2026), the buttock's superficial fat averages about 2 cm (Cotofana 2020), and a recurrent post-traumatic collection over the sacrum lay about 4 to 5.5 cm deep (Leach 2020).\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Which handheld fits a plastic surgery office for seroma checks?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"I pick the Suresult L14Pro at {{SRX_PRICE:31438}}, 95.0\/100 in my ranking: its presets to 80 mm keep the fascia in frame under mean skin-to-fascia depths of 37 to 42 mm before large-volume liposuction, at 10\/14 MHz with Color, Power and PW Doppler, Needle Enhance and a volume from three diameters. For thin flaps and pockets within 40 mm, the L20Pro ({{SRX_PRICE:31250}}) brings 16\/20 MHz on the same Pro kit. The Mindray TE Air e5M follows at 86.1, with all three Doppler modes, both needle tools and the full measurement set for $4,499, checked November 1, 2026.\"}}]}, {\"@type\": \"BreadcrumbList\", \"itemListElement\": [{\"@type\": \"ListItem\", \"position\": 1, \"name\": \"Home\", \"item\": \"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/\"}, {\"@type\": \"ListItem\", \"position\": 2, \"name\": \"Device Review \\u0026 Insights\", \"item\": \"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/device-review-and-insights\/\"}, {\"@type\": \"ListItem\", \"position\": 3, \"name\": \"Seroma on Ultrasound After Liposuction and Abdominoplasty: When to Aspirate, Plus the 6\u00a0Best Handhelds (2026)\", \"item\": \"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/seroma-ultrasound-plastic-surgery\/\"}]}]}<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seroma en ecograf\u00eda tras liposucci\u00f3n y abdominoplastia: aspecto, seroma frente a hematoma, cu\u00e1ndo y c\u00f3mo aspirar, pseudobursa y clasificaci\u00f3n de 6 ec\u00f3grafos de mano.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37731,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_titles_title":"Seroma on Ultrasound: When to Aspirate, Plus 6 Best Handhelds","_seopress_titles_desc":"Seroma on ultrasound after liposuction and abdominoplasty: its look, seroma vs hematoma, when and how to aspirate, the pseudobursa, plus 6 handhelds ranked.","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/seroma-ultrasound-plastic-surgery\/","_seopress_social_fb_title":"Seroma on Ultrasound: When to Aspirate, Plus 6 Best Handhelds","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"Seroma on ultrasound after liposuction and abdominoplasty: its look, seroma vs hematoma, when and how to aspirate, the pseudobursa, plus 6 handhelds ranked.","_seopress_social_fb_img":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/seroma-ultrasound-plastic-surgery-cover.webp","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"Seroma on Ultrasound: When to Aspirate, Plus 6 Best Handhelds","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"Seroma on ultrasound after liposuction and abdominoplasty: its look, seroma vs hematoma, when and how to aspirate, the pseudobursa, plus 6 handhelds ranked.","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/seroma-ultrasound-plastic-surgery-cover.webp","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_seopress_news_disabled":"","_seopress_video_disabled":"","_seopress_video":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas_manual":[],"_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable_all":"","_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[293,332],"class_list":["post-37712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-device-review-and-insights","tag-handheld-ultrasound","tag-wireless-handheld-ultrasound"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37712"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37712\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37738,"href":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37712\/revisions\/37738"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suresultmed.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
