Six inch incision drain to be placed.
Thank you for your question and post. The recovery time will vary from patient to patient but I would expect at least ~1week. The surgeon will remove the drain when it is ready to come out, and there is little fluid output. Be sure to follow up with your surgeon for specific instructions about showering/bathing/and return to activities. Benjamin J.
