Just a back story, I had my 1st breast aug. in 2003. In 2014 I got staph infection and resulted in a ruptured implant on the left. So I got a new implant. However, after this healing process my breasts were not symmetrical what so ever. I was highly I satisfied. & my right breast became capsulated. I went back to my surgeon and he said there was nothing he could do to fix the left breast (which I was the most unhappy with) he said he could lower the right which would leave me with two saggy breasts. *in my option* I wanted them to look more fake. Anyways, this year I went with a new surgeon which did an AMAZING job! I love them so far. I got my surgery on 12/11/15, I had a breast revision with a lift. The incision was through the nipple. I have two drains, one per breast. (To get them out they said the drain output needs to be less than 30ml for two consecutive days) They are uncomfortable, my left one has been in the 30's but my right one is still around 45-50ml. How can I get it to stop draining so much? Is there something I can not do or do. They told me to make sure my bra is tight and that should help slow it. But nothing changed /:

Congratulations on your revision! So glad you're feeling more symmetrical and that you're happy with your results. I wish I knew more about your drain situation. Hoping you'll get more responses to your question in the Doctor Q&A. You might enjoy joining the December 2015 breast implant revision forum for some support. Please keep us posted!
