Drain liquid dark red and foul smell: I had a TT with lipo 9 days ago.

April 5, 2017
Asked By:Laundrymama in Duluth, GA

The liquid coming out of my drain became dark red with a foul smell. My doctor keep telling me it's just" old blood'' but I'm still concerned because it didn't smell like this before. The amount has decreased from 40 ml a day to 25ml a day. Thank you.
