I’m still draining 11 days after lipo out of one particular incision. Is this normal or should I be alarmed?

Hello.
Great question. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. It is unusual for your incisions to be draining 11days post op. I will suggest following up with your surgeon asap as he knows your procedure best.

Dear cdk85209,
liposuction can cause drainage from the wound. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Hi there, thank you for your question. Congratulations on your surgery. It is normal to get persistent drainage from the incision sights for the first week. I recommend following up with your plastic surgeon to ensure he/she is not concerned. Best of luck.

Hello, thanks for your question!! I recommend you to go to your surgeon and check your incision, besides that liquid drainage should stop by the first 5 days to a week. Don't be alarmed, everything will be fine, this can be a serum or anything you're doing on your daily basis. Good luck!! 

Thank you for your question. Usually drainage stops in 2-3 days and definitely by 1 week. If it persists it cab be serum or low grade infection or too much activity. Please see your PS for evaluation
