Are Drainage Tubes Used for Neck Lift and/or Face Lift?

1 Answer

I need a revision to my neck lift. Some doctors are saying the use of drainage tubes is obsolete. My original surgeon used them and I was left with a lot of scar tissue where the tubes were. He said it was a fibrotic reaction. A friend had a face-lift without the tubes and had a great amount of swelling from built up fluid that caused problems with healing. I am confused. If my original surgeon does the revision he will use them again. Is there anything I can do to prevent the fibrotic reaction?
