Had a TT 10 Days Ago and Still Draining Dark Red in my Drain, Should I Worry?

What you're describing is not uncommon, but it is something that you should  check in with a plastic surgeon about.

Initially after tummy tuck the drainage coming out of the drain is a bloody color.  Over time, it begins to clear to a lighter or more yellow fluid.

Sometimes the drainage can stay darker longer if there has been oozing under the skin. Each patient is slightly different. Significant oozing can lead to a bulge called a hematoma.  Sometimes small amounts of hematoma are barely noticeable under the skin and go on to liquefy and come out the drain.  In this case the bloody drainage is a good thing because it allows old hematoma to get out.

The drainage numbers that you describe don't sound scary but their little bit high and may indicate that you had a small amount of oozing or hematoma under the skin at the time of your surgery.

The safest thing to do would be to check in with your plastic surgeon and follow his or her recommendations.  In my own practice if there is no evidence of a big bulge large hematoma I usually leave the drain in a bit longer until the volume of fluid decreases or the drain begins to clear.

Good luck in your healing process.
