Asked By:kaka8cr7 in Austin, TX

I had undergone gynecomastia surgery on 23rd Feb 2012. A few hours after the surgery the doctor discovered I have got a hematoma. As this PS uses drains after gynecomastia surgery a lot of liquid/fluid has been collected from my right side of the chest where hematoma is located. The drainage of the left surgery has gone down to 7.5 ml. But the right one is varying like on 2nd march discharge from the drain was 15 ml and the very next day it was around 48 ml. How long can it take to heal completely?
