I had a tummy tuck and lipo of mid and upper back on June 24th. The drain on my left did well however the drain on my right produced only 5 to 10 cc per day. When the drains were being removed the drain on my right was pointing upward instead of downward. I have had excruciating pain on my right side and right back since surgery with significantly more swelling that appears to be between the size of a golf ball and tennis ball. Could this be an infection or is this normal?
