Could my tummy tuck drain be clogged?

December 24, 2015
Asked By:CatRangel4ever in Bakersfield, CA

My drain seems to be clogged 4 days after my surgery. I can see the clog it's right wear the drains exits my body behind the stiches, I barley get 25cc per day I called my PS and was seen the same day by an RN all she did was pull on the tub and said to wait for my pre op which was the next day. My PS said it was fine because it was draining a bit and that it was to soon to pull it out. I am also on antibiotics. Is this normal and am I still at risk of not draining properly/ infection?
