What Happens when Your Last Drain Comes out Before It is Ready?

Thank you for the question.

Although the premature drain “removal” is a nuisance,  you do not need to be too worried. It will be important to follow up with your plastic surgeon closely so he/she can evaluate you physically and drain any fluid  accumulation that occurs. Sometimes this aspiration ( which tends to be painless) needs to be repeated a few times.

Again, the important thing is to follow up closely with your plastic surgeon.

Best wishes.

Uh oh....But it does happen....If fluid builds back up you can drain it off a few times with a needle done in the office (and gladly you are still numb!) or a drain can be put back in if you need to....Your doctor will know...If nothing is done, fluid buildup can turn into a long term issue like a Seroma, and that is really a pain!!!
