Hi. I’m wondering if I should insist on a drain?to my knowledge, my PS doesn’t generally put a drain in but I’m wondering if I should maybe ask him to put one in just to be on the safe side ?

Answer: Hematoma HI,thank you for your question. A drain is not necessary following a cosmetic breast augmentation and it will not prevent a hematoma.

Answer: Hematoma with Breast Augmentation Thank you for your question. A drain will not prevent a hematoma. A drain is use to remove the fluid after surgery that your body normally produces in the inflammatory phase of healing. A hematoma is causing by abnormal bleeding after surgery. Some causes of bleeding maybe trauma to the surgical site or elevated blood pressure/ heart rate from strenuous activity after surgery. Each patient is different but it is a reasonable discussion with your surgeon.
