Is this normal to leave a JP drain in so long after a Tummy Tuck? I've had my JP drain for 1 month, but I only have 25 cc coming out each day.

  • When there is less than 30cc/day coming out of drain for two days in a row, I will remove the drain.
  • Definitely, give your plastic surgeon a call, and see if he/she agrees that it is time for you to be drain free!
  • Best of luck to you!

camma1Dr. Cooper is friendly and caring. He checks on you after the surgery and is good at scheduling follow up appts and is available if you need to come in for an unscheduled visit.
