How long does it take a hematoma to heal after breast reduction?

njcate
Breast reduction 10 days ago. On day 2 large Hematoma developed on the side of breast and Spread to back. I was given a shot of blood thinner In the recovery room due to pulmonary embolism History. Dr thinks this caused hematoma. Jp drain is still in and pulling 3-4 tbls of what looks Like thick dirty motor oil . Drain site is very sore And slightly pink at opening.the black blood is about 2/3 gone But wondering if drain should still be left in. How long until hematoma heals? Very painful!!
