Hi,

I am 11 days post op from having my implants placed after exchanging from tissue expanders. My original bilateral mastectomy was Dec 2015. My question is I have cohesive gel implants, the surgical site looks great,. I'm not having any fever, or increased pain, or redness. However, I have two JP drains that continue to put out between 200-250 ml EACH every day so far. I'm approaching my two week postop appt Monday. Has anyone else had such high JP output and not developed issues like infection, etc...? I am still obviously on Clindamycin 3 times a day as preventative antibiotics since my drains are in place. Thanks you so so much!
