Answer: Breast reduciton drainage tuibe
The use of drainage tubes in breast reduction is somewhat controsversial. I frequently remove these at the first visit without any problem. Notify your surgeon, but it is likely he/she will do nothing other than observe.

Answer: Drainage tubes after breast reduction
Most doctors do not use drains at all for their breast reductions in our community.
However, it is always best to keep your surgeon posted immediately whenever a question arises. Only he knows exactly what happened during your surgery. there may have been a very good reason to place the drains, and you might need drainage of fluid, monitoring for infection, etc.

Answer: Don't worry
Drainage tubes are not always used for breast reduction and often are removed in 1-3 days anyway, so if a tube came out on its own it is not a serious problem. Typically, the tube is held in with a stitch to prevent it from "falling out", but occasionally the stitch can break.

Answer: Breast reduction and drainage tubes
I would not worry about the drainage tube falling out. I personally never used or use drainage tubes for breast reductions, augmentations or lifts. I would let your surgeon know about it though. Good luck with your healing.
