A hematoma is a pocket of solid, clotted or liquid blood in the tissues. A seroma is a pocket of clear or slightly bloody fluid in the tissues. Both may occur after breast augmentation surgery. If you have a hematoma or a seroma, you will notice a very swollen and tender area that may appear dark. It may feel hard, or like a pocket of liquid. If you have any concerns, call your surgeon immediately.
