I'm 24 years old and on the 30th I had a Fleur de Lis tummy tuck. So far I have had a speedy recovery. Little to no pain at all. Most of my discomfort was from the drains. I got the drains out last Thursday since all were under 25cc's for 48 hours consecutively.

No pain associated with it, it's not warm to the touch. Should I be concerned?
