In most cases, drains are commonly used following a pannilectomy to help remove excess fluid and reduce the risk of complications. These drains are typically small tubes that are placed beneath the skin during surgery and connected to a collection bulb. While the specific need for drains may vary depending on your unique circumstances, it is common to have them for a short period of time, usually a few days to a week. Your plastic surgeon will evaluate your situation and determine whether drains are necessary in your case. During your consultation, they will provide you with detailed information about the recovery process, including the use of drains, to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.
