I had a tummy tuck and lipo suction 7 weeks ago, they took out my first drain 3 weeks after surgery but I still have 1 drain in. I am still draining about 75 cc a 24 hr. period. The doctor put in iodine and the draining subsided for the first 2 days, but now I'm back to 75 cc a day. I am freaking out!What am I doing wrong? What can I do to help draining stop?

If you have experienced this type of hairloss before, then i advise you to start Rogaine 2% from 2 months before and the first 4 months after to avoid hairloss as much as possible. Also add biotin vitamins supplements before and try to maintain a healthy diet.Best of luck
