Q. Is there anything else I should know ?

A. An elastic garment is worn following the operation for up to six weeks. Sometimes, despite the use of drains and a garment, fluid may collect in the operated area. In this case, regular needle aspiration ( which does not hurt because the needle is introduced through the numb scar line) of the fluid by the surgeon will cause the amount collecting to reduce and encourage natural healing until no more collections occur.

All aspects will be discussed in detail at a consultation with the surgeon.
