I have a seroma and have had 3 doxycycline treatments. Still draining.
I have had 3 doxycycline treatments and I am still draining 25ml a day. PS talking surgery since it seems to not be working. I am 2 months out from my TT and am sick of all of this. He is leaving it up to me without telling me what he thinks should happen next. What do I know? Should I try more doxy or do surgery? I know you can't tell me what to do but some guidance would be appreciated.

Though you are early in your recovery, it appears you will need to lose weight before expecting improvement from a revision. Reducing internal fat (the fat around your organs) will allow your surgeon the opportunity to improve your results and better flatten the abdomen.
Thanks for your question. In general, I counsel patients to wait at least 6-8 weeks after abdominoplasty before engaging in vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, and core exercises; specific recommendations are based on individual recovery. That being said, protocols vary significantly...
