What's a drain? Started by: Alex Dorran

I had drains for partials , I think its surgeons preference.
They put a plastic drain tube from the side of the breast that leads in to a pot to drain off any bleeding you have post surgery its supposed to help stop risk of further complications like seromas etc .
Nothing to worry about at all
Mine had very tiny amounts of blood in each drain but the nurses all said its better for it to come out 🙂 xx

Honestly they don’t hurt. They’re just to drain extra fluid from your boobs after surgery. Their left in for 4 hours minimum post op and the nurse will remove them before you leave. Personally I’m quite glad my surgeon, Marcellino uses them. Whenever you hear about girls having squelchy noises and funny sounds in the days post op. Usually that’s due to excess fluid which will eventually dissipate through your body. But if they use drains you don’t get any of that. X

I had Drains and was so nervous for them to be taken out but it’s was just like a little pressure that was all no pain x
