Asked By:Schep40 in 94920

Had surgery,Feb 24, All went well I had a follow up with my plastic surgeon on that following Friday everything looked good. I then had another appointment on March 4 I still have both drains in,one on each side. She asked if it would be alright for her to fill each side with the a hundred cc of saline solution. I Wasn't paying much attention, and said yes even though I had read that usually only 50 to 60 mL are used as a fill first time out.
