What a post-operative ultrasound looks at

A post-operative ultrasound assesses a surgical site for collections such as a haematoma or seroma. It is a safe, painless scan that uses sound waves — no radiation — and is interpreted by an experienced clinician who provides a clear written report.

A post-operative ultrasound assesses a surgical site for a collection such as a haematoma (blood) or seroma (fluid), and for signs of infection. It is used for swelling at a surgical site, pain or redness after surgery, a collection you can feel, or general follow-up after an operation. Ultrasound distinguishes a simple fluid collection from a solid swelling and can guide drainage if needed.

A post-operative ultrasound at Tower Bridge Hospital is commonly used to look for and assess:

Your scan is interpreted by an experienced clinician who explains the findings in a clear written report, with advice on any next steps. A normal scan is often just as valuable — giving you firm reassurance.

One flat fee. Every diagnostic ultrasound is the same price — we do not itemise or add a separate report fee. See our price list for the current fee.

How to prepare and what to expect

No preparation is needed. Please be ready to show us the surgical site or the area of swelling. Wear clothing that allows easy access to the wound. Your scan takes around 15–30 minutes. During the scan a small amount of warm gel is applied and the probe is moved gently over the area. It is painless and there is no radiation. You will receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards, with clear advice on any next steps. We are open 7 days a week, 9am–7pm, with same-day and walk-in appointments in Whitechapel, East London.

Post-Operative Ultrasound — common questions

What is the swelling near my surgical wound?

Common causes are a haematoma (blood) or seroma (fluid), which ultrasound distinguishes easily, along with signs of infection. The report guides whether it needs draining.

Can a collection be drained under ultrasound?

Where appropriate, ultrasound can guide accurate drainage of a collection. This is arranged with the relevant clinician and discussed with you first.

How much does a post-operative ultrasound cost?

We charge one flat fee for any diagnostic ultrasound, with no itemising and no separate report fee. See our fees page for the current price.

Do I need a GP referral for a post-operative ultrasound?

No referral is needed for most scans — you can book directly. A small number of specialist scans are done on referral; we will tell you clearly if that applies.

How long does the scan take and when do I get results?

Most scans take 15–30 minutes and you receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards.

Where is the post-operative ultrasound carried out?

At our clinic on Whitechapel Road, London E1 — near Aldgate, the City and Canary Wharf. Same-day and walk-in appointments are available, 7 days a week, 9am–7pm.
