Drain Removed, Now Collecting Fluid. Normal?

This is a common problem with tummy tucks. No problem. The doctor wil need to tap the fluid on a weekly bases until it dries up.  No issue as long as it is handled correctly.

It is normal to have a
little bit of drainage after the drain has removed.  The skin wound will need a few days to fully
close and until that happens some fluid can leak.  However, there should not be a large amount
of drainage, nor bright red blood.   If
this happens, go see your surgeon immediately.
