Should I be concerned with amount of fluid in JP drain after Tummy Tuck?

davekay
My sister had a tummy tuck at 4:30pm today, since then I've drain both her JP drains four time, each time they had 75-80cc each (so 600cc total in 4 hours and 30m). Is this excessive? I didnt get anything other than how to drain from the doctor. The fluid is solid red in color.
