Post tummy tuck surgery, most drains come out at 1-2 weeks in over 90% of patients.
But increased drainage is seen in patients who:
- Had to undergo the larger operation of tummy tuck.
- Performed strenuous activities post-surgery, leading to accumulation of more fluid.
- Have developed a seroma in their abdominal cavity.
In some instances, surgeons can inject something into the drains to promote rapid collapse of the fluid chamber. But that depends on many patient factors and the situation at hand.
Reach out to your surgeon first & foremost.
However, if you want second opinions, you can refer to our elaborate listicles on surgeons in India and Turkey, or contact us.

Tip of nose still swollen 1 year after rhinoplasty, what to do?
Female | 28
Experiencing some residual swelling at the tip of the nose one year after rhinoplasty can be normal in certain cases. While the majority of swelling typically subsides within the first few months following the procedure, it's not uncommon for minor swelling to persist, particularly in the tip area, for a longer period of time.
Several factors can contribute to the persistence of swelling at the tip of the nose after one year such as Skin thickness, Surgical technique used, etc. If you're experiencing persistent swelling at the tip of your nose one year after rhinoplasty, it's recommended to consult with your surgeon for an evaluation. They will be able to assess your condition, determine the cause of the swelling, and provide appropriate guidance. In the meantime, here are a few things you can consider:
- Follow-up appointment: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to discuss your concerns and have a thorough examination. They will be able to determine if the swelling is a normal part of the healing process or if it requires further intervention.
- Be patient: Swelling after rhinoplasty can take a significant amount of time to completely resolve. It's not uncommon for residual swelling to persist for up to a year or even longer in some cases. Allow your body ample time to heal, as the final results of rhinoplasty can take several months to become fully apparent.
- Avoid trauma: Take care to protect your nose from any trauma or injury during the healing process. Even minor accidents can cause additional swelling or affect the final outcome of your rhinoplasty.
- Follow post-operative instructions: Ensure that you are following all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon. This may include specific care for managing swelling, such as avoiding strenuous activities, refraining from excessive sun exposure, and avoiding certain medications that can increase swelling.
- Massage: Your surgeon may recommend gentle massage techniques to help reduce swelling at the tip of the nose. However, it's crucial to follow their specific instructions, as improper techniques or excessive force can have adverse effects.
- Consider corticosteroid injections: In some cases, your surgeon may recommend corticosteroid injections to help reduce persistent swelling. These injections can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Remember, the advice provided here is general, and it's important to consult with your surgeon for personalized guidance based on your unique situation.

What to eat after rhinoplasty to reduce swelling?
Male | 45
After a rhinoplasty procedure, it is useful to consume foods that have nutrients and minerals as they help in the healing process while possibly reducing swelling. Pay attention to a healthy diet including fruits, vegetables, low-fat proteins and sufficient water intake. High vitamin C foods, such as zinc and bromelain (found in pineapples), may particularly be effective. But it is important to consider any dietary recommendations offered by your surgeon. To get individual advice, approach your general practitioner or a qualified nutritionist specializing in recovery and any dietary restrictions.

Hi my name is kushal so i have gap between my front teeths which makes my smile bad so i want to solve this problem by composite bonding
Male | 18
The space between the two front teeth is called a diastema. This could be due to genetic predisposition, gum disease, or thumb-sucking. Composite bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored substance is applied to your teeth to fill the space. It is a straightforward and quick process that can help you achieve a more uniform smile. Discuss this option with your dentist.

My breast is very small ... How can I get bigger
Female | 23
Uneven size of breasts is quite a common problem. But, if you think yours are too small, it is good to know that size has nothing to do with your health condition. The short breasts can be due to inherited characteristics and also hormonal fluctuations.

I have a scar on my chin which makes me feel insecure about myself at times, i took help from CO2 laser treatment but it hasn't totally disappeared, I think I'll look much good without it, please help me out
Male | 17
Scars can result from various causes, including injury or acne, and they may not disappear completely with simple interventions. While CO2 laser therapy can improve their appearance, sometimes multiple sessions are necessary for optimal results. You might also explore additional options like silicone gel sheets, fractional laser treatments, or microneedling. I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can assess your scar and suggest tailored treatments.

I just started taking prevention pills (mordette pills) and I want to start taking slimz cut (weight loss pills) would it be okay
Female | 18
Whenever you are mixing two different types of pills, you should be cautious. Mordette should be taken for protection and Slimz Cut for shedding off some extra pounds. It can be dangerous to use them together. There might be side effects due to the unknown interactions when pills are mixed without knowledge. It is recommended that you talk to a healthcare provider before taking any new drug.

Electrolysis to unexpected hair permanently remove for face...how much fee?
Female | 26
Electrolysis is a safe method for addressing unwanted facial hair by destroying hair follicles with an electric current, providing long-term results. Factors contributing to excessive hair growth can include hormonal imbalances, genetics, or certain medications. While the fee varies by location and provider, it's best to consult practitioners directly for accurate pricing. I encourage you to speak with a qualified professional who can assess your specific situation and develop an appropriate treatment plan. They can guide you through the process and ensure you receive optimal care, catering to your individual needs.
