So after I lost both JP drains early follow my mommy makeover, I developed two seromas. One at my incision, one in my upper abdomen above my belly button between my breasts. My PS drained away fluid yesterday and placed a make shift drain like reverse type of IV catheter placed in inguinal area. It's been draining steadily. The lower seroma has subsided but now I feel like air bubbles popping and crackling at my incision when I walk or press on it. Dangerous????
