Default drainage question...

Ok. I don't know if I am being over paranoid, but my drains got removed the day after my surgery by the nurse that came to my house. u think as the days go by, i'd get better, but as explained in a previous post i had quite a bit of blood from underneath my breast. i went to see the doctor and he said it was okay. nothing to be concerned about.
i check my breasts this evening and i have 2 holes underneath my breasts..where the drains were i'm guessing. the nurse told me that they would close up on it's own, but she had taped them. i have no tapes on them anymore because they fell off, and the surgeon saw this. i feel like they should be re-banadaged or something to prevent infection. has anyone had this???? did your drainage holes get closed in fairly quickly??? everytime i change my gauzes, it starts to bleed..i'm so confused and concerned.
any feed back would be appreciated.. thanks a billion.

I had my drains taken out on Friday. They were closed as of Monday. No bandages or anything. I made sure that I drank a lot of fluids, take my vitamins and eat lots of protein. I think that played a key role.

How long has it been since your surgery? I recommend you call your plastic surgeon to tell him about the holes.
