Tummy tuck drain, small holes

September 8, 2015
Asked By:PMgutz in Harlingen, TX

I believe a small part of my drain tube came out of the hole on my left. It's not draining well if at all. I thought maybe I broke plastic during milking but I don't see or hear any holes. It simply fills up the bladder of the drain w air. Upon closer look this morning I noticed there are small holes all around the drain tube at the very top centimeter or so. Shouldn't those be in me? Should I shove it back in. You can tell there were stitches there like the other side but now they're gone but for one.
