Asked By:lolaNY6511 in New York, NY

I had my smart lipo surgery of my back a little over 2 weeks ago. Drainage seemed to stop 2 days later but then a few days before 2 w it began again and still going. It is day 5 now. Is this normal? The color is light yellow orangy. Doc said it was normal when I saw him a few days ago but wanted to be sure. Thank you.
