I had a drain until day 19 due to not being able to bring down the fluid level. A seroma developed and was drained (30cc) a week later. Now I've noticed it's coming back again. The dr said to "call when I feel like it needs to be drained again". I don't know when this is and he wouldn't explain more. There is a bulge mid incision and waves to front hip when pushed. How much fluid is too much?
