Luis Tactuk Simó, MD · Answer

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

Jose M. Soler-Baillo, MD, MS · Answer

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
