Ahhh excellent info thank you! I did have cording that went from near center of breast and down chest wall and did ask for PT, and that has subsided. Can I ask how they diagnosed honeycomb? I do have small breasts but feel like the seroma is under incision /nipple area and feels large to me-I can palate and "hold it" (at least my bigger one)

At about the third time I went in for drainage, it was the Breast Care Nurse who figured it out and did she ever work on it. What a relief to have that problem solved. Keep an eye out for the cording -- mine will subside after I wear the swell spot for a week or two and it can return. The PT trained me in how to work on the pressure points which also help to alleviate it. Just another fun problem we run into.
