Does The Drain Site Eventually Heal?
hello, I have just had an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), I weighted 165 at thr time of my admission. around 4 pounds of excess skin was removed, as I was fit. I have alot of swelling and fluid, and "old blood" is bleeding from one of my drain holes. Will the drain hole eventually seal up?
