I had drains put in on each side. Had to empty and measure daily. You do not want that fluid to back up, can get very uncomfortable and become infected as stated earlier by drbreastsurgery. It is uncomfortable some but I taped the bulbs to me loosely so they did not flop around. Made it much easier to deal with. Then I just wore a tube top. I had my drains in for a week. Everyone is different on how much will drain, just ask your doctor.
