Bruising/Blood Pooling
After I had my breast augmentation in September I had a hematoma that was drained the next day. I had a lot of bruising/blood pooling down around my waist. It was VERY colorful and looked painful but didn't hurt at all.
11 days ago I had my mini TT and now I have the same bruising/blood pooling on my inner thighs almost to my knees!! It looks like I had a lot of really rough sex, LOL...... I also have some black and blues above my incision. I think I have fluid in there that needs to be drained. I'll see what the PS says on Tuesday. Does that fluid reabsorb if it isn't drained??

Hi Martha..
Sound like I'm in the same boat as you. That giant purple blob on my butt is probably the star of a hematoma and the result of the drain not draining.
According to my surgeon the body will re-absorb about 20 (or maybe he said 25) CC's of fluid each day. So eventually as we stop accumulating more fluid the body will soak up what is there. I CAN"T WAIT!!
As of this past Friday my surgeon didn't think he needs to suck any fluid out but that is also why he told me to massage the area on my right cheek. :-)
Best wishes....I hope you stop pooling soon!!

Hi Martha - sorry to hear that you DIDNT have the rough sex (if you like that lol), however, the long term effects of the surgery will be much better than a one night stand!! I think I am kind of surprised that they didnt put a drain in, but hell, *I* am NO Dr.!
Hope you are feeling and looking better bruise wise soon!
