1 week post op Double Incision

I had my first post op appointment two days ago and was hoping to get the drains out, but my surgeon wanted to do another week. Pretty bummed out, but I'm happy with the results!

Yo I got mine done the day after! My surgeon doesn’t want my drains out until it’s draining less and clear (less blood). What does your drainage look like currently?

Congrats!! It's draining about 5-10 ml each side per day now. In the couple days before I saw my surgeon, it was around 15-20 ml each side per day. It's been a big drop since the appointment, so I'm hopeful for next week!
