Different colored drains after Tummy Tuck, is this normal?

July 14, 2018
Asked By:omamfan in Kuwait

So I had an abdominoplasty, full back lipo-ed and a breast lift and reduction. The breast drains were removed after a couple of days, and was asked to measure and check my abdominal ones as time went on. As of right now (4 days post op) Left side is Bright red and somewhat watery at 60cc. Right is thick and rich in color, very dark and has chunks of blood coming out at 80cc. Is this normal? There is no pain in either side, however my back side on the right is more bruised than the other.
