If drains are placed during your surgery, your surgeon will provide specific instructions on how to manage and care for them. This may involve emptying and measuring the drainage regularly, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding strenuous activities that could dislodge the drains. Your surgeon will determine when it is appropriate to remove the drains based on the amount of fluid being drained and your individual healing progress.
