Blood clotting in my drains, is this normal?

Greetings MsAbril.I suggest you talk to your plastic surgeon about your drains and the blood clots in your drain tubes. Generally speaking, small clots can be seen in the drain under normal circumstances, but on post op day #1 if there's always a concern about bleeding - therefore, your doctor needs to know! If the output of the drain is low then that's good news versus high outputs. Talk to your PS. Good luck and congratulations!Dr. ALDO 

Dear MsAbril,
It is normal to have some clotting in your drain bulbs/tubes.  However, I would recommend to contact your PS for exam/evalutation to fully assess your post operative situation.  Good luck and hope this helps!
