Normally the fluid drains for 4-5 days after tummy tuck, and then begins to reduce. They are removed 1 to 2 weeks after surgery when the draining fully stops.
In only the following events the fluid doesn't drain:
- Drains become blocked. This is either due to default issues with the drains, or because there are large seromas in the tube that can be removed.
- It could also be that there is no fluid left.
- It is also possible that you have fluid stored in the tissues (edema) rather than the surgical space, and this fluid won't drain from the tubes but will improve with time.
What should you do?
- See a surgeon who can check your drains and guide on what steps are to be taken next.

What is the healing process after Plastic Surgery?
Other | 27
When the body is injured or broken the proper healing is due to the body itself making itself healthy again. There could be a slight bruising that you might experience which is, in fact, a usual condition and should wear off in time. The performance of the surgery is dependent on your cooperation with the doctor. Thus, you must abide by the directives given to a T by your doctor. It is principally of high importance to the individual to have a good portion of time devoted to rest, to the intake of foods that are of high nutritional value, and to the avoidance of physically demanding activities as recommended. If you happen to see any rare signs, or you have some doubts, do not be afraid to let your doctor know about it so he can guide you through the whole process.

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.

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.

InVaginal surgery which is good humenoplasty or vaginal tightening
Female | 24
Both hymenoplasty and vaginal tightening are surgical procedures, but they serve different purposes and are chosen for different reasons. The choice between hymenoplasty and vaginal tightening depends on your specific goals and concerns. Have a thorough consultation with a your gynecologist or consult plastic surgeon in your area, who can assess your individual needs and provide guidance on the most appropriate procedure for you.

Doctor, 28 year old. My cheeks was normal when I'm 25.but now in these 3 year, my cheeks are bigger in size.so, plastic surgeon is okay to treat my problem? If not, which type of doctor is okay to treat my problem?I'm alcoholic, is that cause to my big cheek or 3 to 4 year ago l took local supplements in gym, is this reason to my big cheek? This 2 reasons I thought that these are problem.
Male | 28
We need to see if there is any increase in body weight so increase in body weight is one of the reason for increasing cheek size. Alcohol chronic consumption increase parotid gland size and cheeks appear big. So we need to analyze whether it's alcoholic enlargement or because of the weight gain for which we require pictures. If we find the correct reason we can solve it either by lipolytic injection,or hifu or buckle fat removal. We can choose any one based on the pictures. You can also visit to best plastic surgeon in your area.

I'm 18 and just had a septoplasty surgery two days ago and I'm struggling to manage the pain but I also have some questions about the splints placed inside my nose
Female | 18
It is common to have pain following septoplasty. The splints inside your nose are meant to support the healing process. Due to them, you might feel discomfort, pressure, or blocked-up sensation but do not try touching or removing them all the same. Follow the doctor’s advice for managing the pain and keeping the nose clean. In case of any concerns, do not hesitate to contact your healthcare provider immediately.

I have armpit fat on both sides so what to do about it
Female | 26
Our bodies store extra energy in fat pockets. Armpit fat is normal. More body fat means more fat everywhere, including armpits. Bodies differ; that's okay. Eating well, and exercising regularly can reduce overall fat, and promote health.

Can i use butt enlargement at 16 or 17 Can i also take gain weight pills at 16 or 17
Female | 16
Using butt enlargement or weight gain pills at ages 16 or 17 is generally not recommended without medical guidance. Cosmetic procedures should wait until your body has fully matured, and weight management should be approached through healthy nutrition and exercise with the advice of your doctor.

Why do I have breasts even when I am a man it's been 2 years and it's not going iam not able to wear t-shirts and I feel ashamed and iam not even that overweight
Male | 18
The condition of breast enlargement in men is called gynecomastia. It can be due to hormonal changes, medications or health conditions. It is advised that a plastic surgeon should be consulted for further evaluation and management. Do not medicate yourself, or take nonprescription medications without consulting a doctor.
