Normal drain timeline for mommy makeover?

June 6, 2019
Asked By:coastalchic5 in Georgia, GA

Hello! I have had a mommy makeover (TT, liposuction of flanks and front, breast augmentation - no lift) and in good shape before surgery. I am on day 18 with one drain left and still draining around 50cc per day... Is my body slow to recovery or is this normal for a drain to linger on and keep draining? My plastic surgeon didn’t seem worried, so neither am I. Just curious. :)
