Answer: Why do some people have drains post breast augmentation surgery? Typically you should not require a drain after a primary augmentation. Revisionary surgery may necessitate the use of drains depending on what was done but if your surgeon is suggesting drains for a primary then that should raise some red flags. Get a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your options. Best of luck!

Answer: Drains after breast augmentation Drains are becoming less and less common in plastic surgery procedures. The vast majority of plastic surgeons do not use drains with breast augmentation surgery and there is no evidence that drains improve the outcome of the surgery. Drains do contribute to more post-operative discomfort. In some situations, however, drains may be used to assist in approximating tissues that have been widely dissected (separated from their normal attachments), such as in body lifts or extensive abdominoplasties.
