Drain Care & Log
Drains are often necessary after surgeries like tummy tucks or circumferential body lifts to remove fluids that accumulate during the healing process. Dr. Rednam provides patients with Drain Care Teaching and Logs to monitor the volume and frequency of the fluid collected, which is critical for a safe recovery. By tracking when and how much fluid is emptied—ideally decreasing to less than 30 ml/day for 2 days in a row—patients and Dr. Rednam can ensure drains are removed at the optimal time for best results.
