PO Drains

[Bluish]

just had my surgery 2 weeks ago lipo & excision. after the surgery i had a sweeling under my right side they took me to OR to take the drains out. now my left side is pretty good. but my right one still have some drains below my nipple. my doctor said to have a masage with olive oil be4 i sleep and he will see me after 2 weeks. any idea about this drains?

I was just wondering.  Does everyone who have the gyn surgery have drains put in?

i had it on my 1st surgery.  they come out the day after.  the surgeries i had after never had drains by that surgeon.
however i think drains r better, it gets Dr. Reid of excess fluild buildup from acummulating in yr chest.  bit painful and annoying but a effective method.

I did not have drains. I am 2 weeks post op and I kinda wish I did have it done that way. Cause now I have fluid in my right side still and and my left side it almost gone and normal. I am seeing my surgeon tomorrow to see if he needs to drain me cause it doesn't seem like it's going away itself. I feel like I still have a boob. LOL

To answer my own question from before, drains are not always put in, as i didn't have one in my surgery.
