I had a TT revision due to wound opening and chronic seroma repair. Because I had a seroma for weeks before, my PS put in another drain after the revision. I'm only collecting 15-20ml in the drain. I am either swollen or the drain is clogged and I have a seroma. The bulb is compressed and fluid light red. He also told me not to wear compression this time for some reason. 1. Should I be wearing compression? 2. Am I swollen or is this drain partially clogged? (No water bed)
