I heard 10 days, but the massages have helped with the swelling.

Thanks for your question. Drains are normally removed about 7 days post-op during a follow-up meeting. When the drain is removed, you may start massaging to lessen any discomfort or swelling you are experiencing. Hope this helps,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Hello, i generally remove the drainage 4-5 days post op, and recommend the lymphatic drainage at around 7 days post op. Best wishes

I tell my patients that as soon as they can tolerate the drainage massage to have one or more after I've removed the drains one week post op.Thank you for your question!Melinda Lacerna, MD FACS
