Dr.Horowitz in Huntington Beach doesn't use drains. He said he felt like having them in didn't change much, since sometimes people develop hematomas  even with drains in.

I have.  Dr. McLean in Canada doesn't use drains (that I know of).  Here is his website:

There's also Dr. Peter Raphael in Texas who uses no drains.

I had top surgery with Dr. McLean. No drains. No hematomas. Great results.

They weren't fun, for sure.  Alternatively, I didn't like the idea of all that gross bloody fluid floating around in my chest!

With that said, I knew I was going with Garramone, drains or no drains.  :D
