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.
