I have 13 year old saline implants under the muscle, 400 cc, 60 year old. I am having a lot of auto-immune symptoms, neck and shoulder pain, leg cramps and left side hip pain.
Answer: Recovery Drain tubes usually stay in until drainage is below a certain threshhold. Often times they are removed 3-5 days after surgery. As the breasts heal, they will begin to "fluff". It will take a few months for you to see your final results however.

Answer: How long should drain tubes stay in after breast explant surgery/capsule removal? How long does it usually take to fluff back? I am sorry to hear about the problems you are experiencing. You will find that the use of drains will vary from one practice to another. In my practice, I do generally use drains when breast implants are removed. I removed the drains when their outputs are low. On average, drains are removed four to seven days after the surgery. Patience is definitely indicated after removal of breast implants; it will take many months/year for the skin to “bounce back” and for you to see the final appearance of the breasts.

Answer: How long should drain tubes stay in after breast explant surgery and capsulectomy? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. In most instances drainage tubes can be removed with 3-10 days of surgery. It will largely depend on the amount of fluid that drains in 24 hour increments. Your breast tissues will heal and soften over the following several months to leave you with your long-term appearance. Hope this helps.

Answer: Drains and explant Every surgeon is different, but I like to keep my drains in until they are less than 30 cc's for 24 hours or even lower. It depends upon the procedure.

Answer: Implant removal The drains can be removed after 2-3 days if the drainage is low. The final results may take few weeks. I offer my patients fat grafting at the same time to prevent too much shape and size change. Please see the link.
