I have my tummy tuck yesterday and the drain hole seems to be on my lower back. I went to sleep and when I woke up I notice there's blood leaking outside the drain. Is this normal? The picture shows the blood on my pajamas and bed.

Answer: Bleeding around the drain tube hole Thank you for the question. It is not unusual to have a little bleeding around the drain tube hole. Just make sure the suction of the bulb is functioning and there is not kinking or blockage of the tube.

Answer: Drainage It is not uncommon to have some leaking from drains site as well as incisions. This is usually minor and not continuous. It is important to check drain to make sure it is working and holding suction. Occasionally the drain may come out to far and not hold suction and yes the fluid will leak from around the drain site. If this is the case notify your PS.
