Is this normal at 2 weeks post op tummy tuck muscle repair? (Photo)

Cook467Jun 28, 2018
Hi! I had a mommy makeover a year ago and just got a revision 2 weeks ago.Because I had a bulge in my stomach, so my doctor assumed I needed a muscle repair. I’m 2weeks post op. Before I got my drain taken out I had wine color fluid coming out. My doctor PA said it was normal. Also I had a bbl with the same doctor 2 years ago so I just feel like my stomach shouldn’t look like this. I have lost all hope in my doctor because he has a don’t care attitude.
