I had a tummy tuck with liposuction. Despite 2 drains, 15 days post op I was diagnosed with a staph infection and hospitalized for 5 days. 2 large seromas were found in the abdomen, fluid was drained, new drains inserted. 10 days later, these drains were removed as ultrasound showed no fluid. 3 weeks later, MD sent me for US and another seroma was found. Again the fluid cultured for staph. I still have a drain 4 weeks later but only 5 cc's a day draining. When should I expect recovery?
