Are drains common for a lollipop lift and implant surgery? How long do patients typically have them on? Im hoping to avoid it.

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well... based in your question if the case dont have eventually can during 7 days counting day after surgery.but its recommended to discuss this theme with your plastic surgeon.

I do not perform lollipop lifts because of the ugly vertical scars.  Instead, I recommend The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained.  At the same time or later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.  Implants are not lifetime devices and half are removed by 9.5 years.  Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
