Asked By:amossthomas in Richmond, TX

I had an abdominoplasty and hernia repair 26 days ago. I had one JP drain removed at my first post operative appointment; however, I still have one drain with 50 cc output in 24 hours. The drainage color is very light yellow. I'm wearing my compression garment and resting. What else can I do to reduce the drainage?
