Hello and thank you for answering my question. I'm 33 days post op and I have a pocket of fluid in my lower back. I had my drains removed after my tummy tuck and lipo on day 7 and ever since I have been getting drained manually through hand massages. The fluid leaving my back is a lot, more than 25 ccs. Now I am wondering if this pocket of fluid will ever go away, and should I begin aspirating it with a syringe? My surgeon is not local, therefore I am relying on your professional opinion as guidance.
