I had liposuction done on my stomach, back, and flanks two weeks ago. Three days after the surgery I started a session of 10 Lymphatic Drainage massages, with ultra sound therapy. During the massages, they would extract fluid through a syringe. Now, 3 days after the massage session ended I’ve been having moderate leakage for which I’ve been using gauze to soak up the fluid. Is it normal to still be leaking +2 weeks after the surgery? Is there any risk of the incision getting infected?
