Hi ladies, How long did you leave your drains in. The TT incision is not hurting. It is hurting every time I move where the drains are placed. If I move a particular way the hurt like hell. What can I do?

I just had some revision lipo done on Monday. Originally had a tt and lipo and then had to have a seroma surgically removed. So this is my third time having the evil drains. My doctor won't take both drains out at the same time, so I had each of mine 5-8 days.

Dr. Alvarez is an artist! He is a hidden diamond! You guys I went in honestly not expecting much. Just wanted to have smaller belly and thin waist. I was sick of hiding my belly fat with large clothing and baggy pants. I feel so good today. The pain has spiked a few times only because I fell asleep and did not wake up to take meds. Just wanted to post some pics. I will walk you guys through my process in a few days. In the mean time if you have any question just let me know.

Just want to stop and post that surgery went well. I am at about a 2 on the pain scale. I can tell a significant difference. Dr. Alvarez was the perfect gentleman. I will do a review on him and the facility a bit later. Resting and looking forward to great results.
