Asked By:RSProfile7363737 in Colts Neck, NJ

Recently had my upper and lower abdomen drained with a fine-needle syringe 2x since my vaser-lipo/body tite procedure. 1st time 4 days post surgery and 2nd time 8 days post surgery. 2nd time; approx. 300 ccs watery red. The PA wants me to return again in another 4 days to drain more. My lymphatic massage therapist said that draining can cause larger cavities thus causing the cavity to become larger and fill with more fluid. Should I see another Dr?
