Are drains required to prevent seroma after implant removal?

Drains may assist in reducing the risk for fluid collection in this scenario (breast explanation, fat transfer). Some PS will use drains; others will base their use on the patient's surgery and anticipated problems with healing. 

Dear botched2017,
every plastic surgeon has his preferred technique. Some will use drains others won't. Drains are use to drain fluid and prevent seroma which can often occur after implants removal. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
