Is It Ok to Have Bleeding at Drain Entrance Site That Comes Through Pants?

   Slight drainage around drain site after tummy tuck is not particularly worrisome as long as it is relatively clear and scant.

Thanks for your question. Some oozing at the drain site can be normal. Major bleeding is not normal. It's always a good idea to discuss this with your PS. Best of luck - Aldo Guerra, MD.

It's quite common to experience minor bloody drainage around drain site although continuous bleeding is abnormal and needs immediate attention. It's always easier to just call and see your surgeon about this. You wil have the peace of mind that this is minor issue and continue with your recovery.
