I am 11 days post op extended tummy tuck. For the last three days my drain output has been 30cc. From one drain 20-25cc and 5-10cc from the other. The higher output drain stitching has pulled free and the drain tube is pulling out. I see my PS on Monday but I am afraid this drain is going to come out before then.

Hello and thanks. Your plastic surgeon's office should be able to give you orders for the lab and other instructions. You don't need a primary unless additional tests like EKG, etc.. are needed. Best wishes,. Dr. ALDO
