Why am I draining liquid non stop from my tummy tuck incision?

Dolsmith
I am 9 days post tummy tuck with lipo and no muscle plication. I had one drain taken out at 5 days and one left in. Day 7 i woke up with my pants and gauze completely soaked. I took them off and was leaking though three different places in my incision. The leaking will not stop. My doctor said this was normal. The drainage was pink in color not too thick and has a funny odor. Please help
