Hello, so I had a tummy tuck about a month ago and also had 3 jp drains. 1 cam out about a week after the surgery. The other two came out about 3 weeks after. One of the holes has been leaking yellow fluid; it has been pretty constant. It literally leaks and the fluid has been thin. Just last night, the wound started leaking redish fluid which I assume to be Serosanguinous fluid. It very heavily came and has since slowed a little. My Surgeon says this is ok as it has to come out. Thoughts?
