I would like to have my breasts lifted (no implants, I have plenty of tissue), but I have no one at home to help me afterwards. I have no one to take care of, I am by myself. I want to know if you HAVE to have drains with a breast lift. I am trying to minimize my recovery time.

Answer: Drains after breast lift Thanks for your inquiry. Drains are not necessarily needed after a breast lift. I do not routinely insert them. You could check with your own plastic surgeon about their protocol.

Answer: Drains after a breast lift Drains are frequently used after certain surgeries to minimize fluid collections in surgical spaces. For example, almost all surgeons place 1 or 2 drains after a facelift. Many (most) surgeons place drains in an abdominoplasty. In my experience, most surgeons do not place drains in a breast lift in most cases; however, this decision is up to your surgeon's personal practices.
