I have four drains and only one has any significant draining. I get at 9 now morning and night the others have barely anything.
Answer: Mommy Makeover - Drain removal? Thank you for your question regarding your drains. I typically remove drains when the output is 20 cc or less over a 24 hour period. You will need to discuss this with your surgeon as drain management often varies between surgeons. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

Answer: Tummy tuck drains removed when output is low Your surgeon will be able to answer your question based on his or her own protocol, but most would say remove tummy tuck drains when the output is less than 20 cc in 24 hours. Usually this is within 3-4 days.

Answer: When do the drains get removed? Will they remove all four at the same time? Dear bigboobsbegoneIn my practice, drains are often removed when the drainage is less than 30cc per 24 hours, however, this is modified with some procedures. I don't use drains for breast reduction. Abdominoplasty drains often come out on post op day 5. Your surgeon and his office are your best source for whats best in your case.

Answer: Drain removal Thanks for yuor inquiry, but without examining you, it is impossible for us to advise which drains are ready to come out, but your question allows us to discuss basic principles of drain managment. In general, for each procedure there is a standard time required with drains to remove fluid, eliminate swelling, and create suction for adherence of tissues. Next, the drains come out based on the consistency of the fluid, the amount, and the amount of healing in the incisions around the drain. Your surgeon will decide when the drains come out.
