Chin Implant/lipo 7th Day Yellow Discharge from Drainage Tube - No Pain and No Smell? (photo)

May 16, 2013
Asked By:Khori

Doctor has been watching my husband everyday, giving him antibiotics. No smell or pus (thickness) from discharge, just yellow/red and no pain. The photo is after 4 hours from the drain. I read from this site that doctors like to take out drain after 10 days. As a head's up, how long is ok for there to be discharge/draining after drain taken out? Is yellow color common or a concern?
