My bilateral mastectomy was 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Started out with 7 drains (very cautious doc), immediately went down to 5, then down to 2. Any idea what the average time frame is for drains? These are becoming very unwelcome attachments!
Justine is right. I had one out at a week and the other was to be in two weeks but it fell out at about a week and a half.
shouldn't be any harm that I know of. 90cc is a lot of fluid yet. Are you emptying twice a day? I did 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. every day
Is their any harm in leaving the drains in longer ? My P.S wants to take mine out and it still is putting out 90 cc and it was put back in after fluid was building up and draining down my back ! I want to leave it in til its putting out under 30cc
I had mine a week.
I had mine for 3 weeks
