While it is possible that the drains can get clogged with some blood, it is usually an easy fix. This is probably some that is best addressed by calling your plastic surgeon and asking them how you could strip or milk the drains. If your plastic surgeon has not shown this to you, it may be best to visit with your surgeon so he/she can demonstrate to you how this could be done.Good luck.
Hi, kdw3083. If the drain is clogged, fluid can build up in your abdomen. You can try to "milk" (strip) the drain to unclot the drain. Please visit your plastic surgeon to be evaluated. Best regards.
