I had a full tummy tuck one month ago and I have one of two drains remaining. The color from the tube is pink with bits of clear. It has clogged once with a very small clot or protein chunk; not sure. I am now draining about 25 to 30cc's over a 24 hour period. The other drain was pulled one week prior with around 15cc's over a 24 hour period. I am worried about seromas and potential issues stemming from this fluid. Is it time to pull based on volume and serum color? Thank you.
