It may be completely unexpected and nice if your drains are removed just the day after your surgery. Ask your doctor when he would do that because if you know that he will pull it soon, you can double up your pain medications.
If you are sensitive, don’t watch while he pulls it out. It may hurt a little and you may feel a little dizzy; but that may happen due to your medications and lack of food.

While returning to home after the surgery, you should choose a less bumpy road because every bump can cause a pain in the operated area. Also better keep a pillow in your car which you can place under the seatbelt that will go across your chest.

Purchasing bras of new measurements before the surgery may be a wrong idea because until you are totally healed and the swelling is relieved, you get no idea of your final size. So, wait for some weeks before buying bras.
