How much blood drainage is normal after lipo?

February 15, 2019
Asked By:TiffanyWalla in Medellín, CO

I had aggressive liposuction of my abdomen yesterday. I am worried that I have been bleeding pretty heavily from my left incision sight near my groin. It is not just the blood tinged fluid like I was expecting, but dark read blood. I have soaked around 3 tena maxi pads and when I stand up it just gushes out. I left a message with my surgeon but It’s almost 9pm on a Friday here so idk when I will hear back and if this is something I should go to an ER for.
