What Should I Expect from Drainage Fluid After Liposuction?

jersey girl 22
I had liposuction of abs-flanks on Thursday. Was told to return to doctors office following Tuesday for checkup to include removal of compression garment for the first time. Question for you is... what is the average color of liposuction drainage? and is it ok that i cant clean myself real well in my private area, rear mostly (also had breast lift with implants). As of Saturday i am starting to smell a foul order from drainage. I believe its all over the compression garment yuck-o. help what can i do to clean my garment so i dont get infection.
