Useful Application of Negative Suction Drainage on the Umbilicus After Transaxillary Breast Augmentation

초록

Simple application of negative suction drains through the umbilicus during transaxillary breast augmentation obtained a more natural drainage and an easier positioning of the drain at the dependant portions than placement of the drains at the transaxillary incision site. Moreover, the patient was more satisfied due to increased comfort while wearing clothes, which resulted in a quicker recovery to everyday activities. In addition, the scar of the drain site was hidden on the inner side of the umbilicus.
