What is Seroma of the Pinna?

A seroma of the pinna is an accumulation of fluid in the ear's outer structure, often resulting from trauma, surgery, or piercing. This condition can cause swelling and discomfort but is typically non-threatening. It is crucial, however, to seek professional medical care to prevent complications such as infection or fibrosis.

• Aspiration: In cases where the seroma is persistent or causes significant discomfort, our specialists may perform an aspiration to remove the fluid.
