tummy tuck incision is currently closed with no leakage. (3 wk PO TT/ MR & lipo of flanks.) The Dr. was able to Aspirate 2 syringes of fluid from the site where the JP drain was pulled. She was unsuccessful at aspirating any fluid from where the jp drain is currently still in place (left side) The aforementioned jp drainage has slowed down considerably after the aspiration, less than 20 cc's daily. What are my chances of the fat necrosis resolving on its own. will it lead to skin death?
