Strapping and drains?

Does anyone know the purpose and benefits? I had my operation on Wednesday and I didn’t have either! And now that I’ve thought about it my surgeon (Dr Traynor) never uses strapping. I don’t want to feel like I’m missing out haha x

@billiejayne3 You’re not missing out hun the strapping just holds them in place for 7 days post op and then you have it removed on your first post op appointment with the nurse. I had Dr Traynor too and honestly I was thankful he doesn’t use either because I’ve seen so many horrible posts about the pain when having drains removed and skin being pulled off when strapping has been removed. Strapping and drains are surgeons choice. I think only one surgeon uses drains (don’t quote me on that for sure though). X

I know I’ve heard horrible pain stories too! Thankyou just wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing out x
