Looking at other people’s journey I see they had drains and all that but I didn’t have drains why is that ?
Answer: Drains or No Drains After Breast Reduction? #breastreduction I rarely use drains for my breast reduction patients. Drains are used to help prevent fluid collections, called seromas.Years ago, I used to use drains for all of my breast reduction patients, and now that I rarely use drains, I have not had any increase in seroma formation.Congrats on your breast reduction!

Answer: Breast Reduction Congratulations on your surgery. Each surgeon has his or her own protocol that they follow. With that being said I always place drains but not every surgeon will do so. If your surgeon recommends a tight compression bra then I would continue to wear that. Best of luck to you while you are recovering.

Answer: No drains after breast reduction Thanks for your questions and photos. For a standard breast reduction, I do not routinely place drains either. Many times the decision to place drains or not is based on a surgeons preference, training, and a patient's anatomy. I hope that you are doing well post op.Best wishes!Daniel Brown, MD, FACSBoard Certified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic SurgeonsMember American Society of Plastic SurgeonsCastle Connolly Top DocReal Self Top 500
