How long did you have drains after reconstruction? I had a latissimas Doris flap 22 days ago. I still have one drIn and it is producing 60 cc a day yet. I am beginning to feel like it will never bet taken out

I had the latissimus Dorsey flap on January 4, of this year. I had my last drain removed on February 8th. It was so irritated. Good luck.

I had the flap done also and I don't remember having drains in, . I had no other choice because the radiation thinned my skin out so much
