My TT was 3 weeks ago. My dr removed my drains at 4 days draining at 220. He said early drain removal is beneficial as prolonged drains increase infection risk. 6 days out I started leaking dark sebum at my drain site. I have swelling and was told this would go on its own. If I push my stomach fluid moved up into my right side making a bulge. My doctor said not to worry until 6 weeks out. It feels like my tummy is tearing and burning. I have been wearing a knee to chest binder around the clock.

Sorry you're having problems. You have a small area of full thickness skin loss, and, possibly some fat necrosis. It has occurred in the most common site, i.e., in the central most distal part of the skin flap where the circulation is the poorest.Generally this problem is dealt with...
I typically like to separate the inner thigh lift operation from the tummy tuck because of the increased risks due to the proximity of the blood supply.
