Hematoma after Tummy Tuck (Photo)

June 29, 2018
Asked By:anonymomma in New Haven, CT

I had a TT on 6/27, and noticed my drain had stopped collecting on 6/28. I was told to milk the line and come back on 6/29 where I was told I had a hematoma. I have double homo MTHFR and was on lovenox.That was discontinued. Since then I have gotten 150/160ml between 4pm and 2:30am. I've been alternating a warm BAG, massage, milking, and cold compress. Is there anything else? Do I lie flat or sit up? I have an appointment tomorrow 6/30 to hear options. Will this ruin my results? I'm so upset.
