I haven’t had radiation but I was just diagnosed with a seroma 5 months after my implant surgery. I have surgery scheduled next week to remove it and some scar tissue and the implant. Hoping it isn’t infected. Apparently Seromas are common after mastectomy - this just popped up with a red and swollen breast - crazy.

I know once skin is radiated it has to be treated differently because it is very delicate. A breast or plastic surgeon could probably speak to you about why that is the case. It was one of the reasons why I opted for a bilateral mastectomy instead of a lumpectomy so I could avoid radiation.

Good luck to you.
