Draiage tube after breast reduction |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: Is it common practice to insert the draining tubes on a patient after she has had breast - reduction surgery ? Dear Marcela: Yes, it is common practice to use drainage tubes after such a procedure. This reduces fluid collection at the operation site and thus reduces potential complications such as infections. |
