Does Activity Affect the Amount of Drainage in Jp Drain After Abdominoplasty?

sandlis4
Still have jp draining 6 weeks after abdominoplasty. Still draining about 55 cc every 24 hours. Is there anything I can do to help decrease the amount so drain can be pulled? I did have 2 drains and 1 was pulled 2 weeks postop.
