What causes blood in the drain after a Tummy tuck?

July 7, 2015
Asked By:greenmommy1 in Atlanta, GA

I had a burning, sharp pain in my lower right hip and then noticed my right drain tube was full of blood (not diluted) and I had about 10cc of blood in the bulb. Any idea what causes this? Is this common? My tummy tuck and hernia repair was Friday. I have already left a msg for my PS in the meantime.
