Re: draining post op fluid success?
My P.S. did it on Monday with great success.  It's an amazing difference.  Personally, I don't think I would go to my regular doctor for that for the same reason I wouldn't let my heat pump guy work on my car's fuel injectors.

my plastic surgeon told me that usually after he does operations for gyne there's usually very little fluid that needs to be removed but that if it does need to be removed, then the patient comes back and he uses a syringe to remove the fluid.

Mine tried a couple of times, not fun, and it was just swollen. No extra fluid. He has cleary been watching for it.

Re: draining post op fluid success?
did he manage to get any fluid out at all merle or was it a failed attempt...like you say its hard to tell if its fluid or sweling.....especially if the doc or surgeon wasnt sure which it was and had a go anyway
