Hi, I am 3 days post op from BA . PS used drain tubes with my Sientra, gummy bear, textured, round base with high projection, under the muscle and anatomical. 320cc on rt/270cc on left. Right side is so much redder. I am rt handed . 12 hr period had 15ml each side down from 30 ml the 12 hours before. Am I using my right side too much?
