Chelee,
Glad to see you are posting again. Sorry to hear that you are having some problems though. I can't relate to a seroma at the breast incision site but I can tell you Ihad the same problem when I had my back fusion. It happened at the site where they took some bone from my hip. I had it drained once and it began to fill again but it disappeared on its own - my body reabsorbed the fluid. I'm sure it will be okay but if it continues to swell and cause discomfort then I'd ask about having it drained again.
