I am looking to get a BA and had some questions that are outstanding or that I am getting mixed answers on. If someone could be so kind as to help me with these questions I would be very grateful. Thank you.
Answer: Drains and capsular contracture I dont know of any studies that show that drain use in primary breast augmentation reduces the incidence of capsular contracture. Breast augmentation should be a very clean and dry procedure so use if drains is really not warranted.In patients with capsular contracture i routinely use drains after capsulectomy. These cases generally cause fluid leakage (not blood) and the drains aid in removal of this fluid.

Answer: Drains have no effect There is no evidence that drains cause or prevent the formation of capsular contracture. There are many other factors that are felt to contribute to the formation of capsular contracture but drains do not affect this. I have used drains on only one patient in 22 years of practice. Hope that helps.
