Drain incision with Dr. Aceves

Please post your experience with the drain incision with Dr. Aceves. Some patients say they got a couple stitches and others say it is left open to close on it's own.

Just curious what your experience was...THANKS!!!biggrin.gif

My drain was held in place by two stitches which were snipped and removed when the drain was removed. The hole was left to close on its own and bandaged. The skin closed remarkably fast, in just two days, but the site took about 10 days to heal fully.
