  7. IT HAS BEEN 4 MTHS AND I...

It has been 4 mths and I still have the drain! I am tired of the antibiotics upsetting my stomach after 4 1/2 mths! Advice?

August 10, 2016
Asked By:livetoday in Dallas, TX

The Dr in Miami performed the surgery in my right butt cheek to remove foreign material that was put in 2 yrs ago to fill in a hole I had there. 3 mths and I was not recovering so went back to see him and he performed another surgery through the same incision to remove what he said was a capsule. He said drain should come off in a mth or less. 6 wks later I am still draining about 50-60 cc in 24 hrs. I feel he is avoiding me now:( I am worried he does not know what to do with me. Please help

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS says:

Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  ...
