I pulled my drain almost all the way out by accident. No suction at all now. How will they fix it?

Asked By:sta617 in Bryn Mawr, PA

2 weeks ago today I had a thigh, butt and arm lift. I have would separation on the incision in multiple areas. I have 2 drains and one is barely draining anything and is ready to come out. Of course the one that pulled out is the one that has been draining high amounts, maybe 80 per day. If they take this out I feel like I'm almost guaranteeing myself another surgery because of the fluid. What can they do to avoid this?
