X-Post: Drain Questions

Is best to leave the drains until they are less than 20cc per day per drain. I had mine for 6 weeks and 8 weeks respectivly and about 3 weeks after they came out I developed two seromas, the drainage was around 30 to 40 cc when they came out.  Hind site I wish they should have stayed longer. I have not had to have any aspiration and I am simply wearing compression again,  the seromas seem to be getting smaller. Trust me you want to avoid seroms if possible and the only way to do that is to have the drains pulled out when there is very little coming out.

Hope this helps and good luck to you.
