I had DMX w/AFC and bilateral sentinel node removal. I had 2 drains per side. Removed at Day 6 and Day 8.

@meeshodge I wanted to thank you for bringing up AFC, aesthetic flat closure. You had mentioned it in an earlier post, too. I didn’t know what it was so I guess there are others that haven’t explored that option either. When going flat an AFC seems to be a really good option, and having a plastic surgeon do the closure might reduce scarring.
Thanks!
