Can my hematoma come back after it was drained?

I had a TT with MR and lipo on May 15. I had 2 drains removed at 6 days post op. At the time of removal both drains were still blood, albeit it was thinner than PO day 1. It was not pinkish, still red. This weekend I noticed my lower abdomen was like the "waterbed" described on this site. Called PS and had a syringe and a half of dark/black blood removed. Instantly saw a difference. Since coming home, i feel it's filling up again? Is this possible? Should I wait a couple of days or contact PS?
