Answer: Drains Most surgeons will make the decision in the OR to use drains if necessary. I rarely use drains for implant/capsule removal. But, if I think the drain is needed, I will use one.

Answer: Do you need drains after breast explant surgery The use of drains after explant surgery will vary by surgeon preference as well as the specifics of your procedure. If they are used they typically only stay in for a few days. I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about his/her preference about the use of drains.

Answer: Do you need drains after breast explant surgery? Thank you for the question. Keep in mind that practices will vary (which is why you've encountered the "mixed opinions"); the information you receive here may not be relevant when it comes to exactly waht your plastic surgeon protocol is. In my practice, I do use drains for all patients who undergo breast implant removal surgery. The drains help with fluid removal (and helps prevent seroma formation).
