Answer: Not necessary to stitch close drain incisions It isn't necessary to stitch close the incisions where the drains are inserted because they are very small and heal well on their own. Normally, they are dressed with a bandage and in a bit they will close on their own. Just make sure to keep the are clean and not submerge yourself in a bath while they heal.

Answer: Drain Holes Thank you for your question. Most surgeons leave drain holes open to heal on their own to reduce the risk of an infection. It is best to care for it by keeping it clean and covered with a small dressing like a Band-Aid. Ask you surgeon for recommendations for care of the drain site. Best wishes.

Answer: Drain holes are not stitched after drain removal In my experience of over 30 years I have never sutured a drain hole after removing a drain. Your normal tissues will heal the hole in a very short period of time and over the next 7-8 months the scar should becomes smaller and lighter in color.

Answer: Do You Stitch Up Drain Holes? Drain holes will close on their own and don't need suturing. It will usually seal in a few days and have a scab that will come off within a few weeks.
