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?

Question

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

Thank you for your question. You should be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon soon. If you decide to go to a different surgeon than the one that performed your initial procedure in Miami, it will be helpful to being your prior operative notes with you. Good Luck, you deserve to feel better.
