Medical Advice & Health Discussions

I’ve got a medical question for you guys.

So, I had this hematoma on the right side of my neck, toward the back.
I went under the knife this past Monday, and they cleared out everything inside and cleaned the whole area.
There wasn't anything else in there besides some blood that was looking pretty thick.

Now, the doctor told me he cleaned it all out, but he also said there's a massive chance it’s just going to fill back up again. He actually recommended I go see a plastic surgeon.

What I want to know is how is that even possible? And is there any way to stop that empty space from just filling right back up?

There aren't many medical professionals hanging out in this specific corner of the forum, so I doubt you'll find much useful insight here. You’d have much better luck seeking advice over in the 'Health & Wellness' section. Would you like me to move this thread over there for you?

Deal

I didn't even bother checking if this forum even had a section for that kind of thing

My bad

No problem at all. I will go ahead and move this thread over to the 'Health' subforum.
