Accidentally pulled R JP Drain almost out 6 days post-op abdominoplasty (3/20) (Photo)

Asked By:Dianne0720 in Wilmington, NC

My R JP drain got caught on kitchen handle and yanked almost completely out. It seems to be still attached to my body and since it's not working, I would like to remove it. My drainage in both R and L were already minimal. Called my PS but has not returned my call. Can I remove this myself? Here is a picture.
