I need a revision to my neck lift. Some doctors are saying the use of drainage tubes is obsolete. My original surgeon used them and I was left with alot of scar tissue where the tubes were. He said it was a fibrotic reaction. A friend had a face lift without the tubes and had a great amount of swelling from built up fluid that caused problems with healing. I am confused. If my original surgeon does the revison he will use them again. Is there anything I can do to prevent the fibrotic reation?
Answer: Drainage tubes after facelift. I do not use drainage tubes in facelifts for 30 years. Some good surgeons do. Pick a surgeOn who has good results with or without tubes!

Answer: Necklift: are drainage tubes used for necklift hello toadsmom A necklift is not a singular procedure with a singular method, but rather is an umbrella term describing a large range of operations with varying incisions and skin-lifting techniques, which have been developed and improved upon over the years. Your board certified plastic surgeon will be familiar will be able to pair you with your perfect match of surgical approach based on your skin type and desired results. #drainage #tubes

Answer: Facelift/Necklift with drains? Thank you for your question.Facelift/Necklift surgery does not require use of drains. Many surgeons do, however, place small drains for a short time after surgery, with the goal of reducing bruising. I personally do not use drains for my facelift patients. Instead, I take a little extra time during the operation to ensure small areas of bleeding have been carefully cauterised. Drains do not always necessarily prevent possible bleeding complication. I do not use drains and have pioneered The Concept Facelift, having a 0% incident rate of hematoma. It is important to focus more on the results of your surgeon as illustrated in their pre & post operative facelift patients. Do you like their results, will the surgeon meet your expectations, is the facility where you are going to have your surgery performed accredited? These might be much more important. I do not think the use of drains or not drains would reflect the surgeons ability.All The Best
