Hi @Kat09. It depends on your surgeon. My surgeon uses Prevena dressings rather than stitches and drains but other surgeons use stitches and drains at the same hospital. It has been around for awhile for other types of surgery but I think it is fairly new for mastectomy. I had no issues with it but you have to carry the pump around while you have it on. Here is a link to the Prevena site, http://www.acelity.com/products/prevena-incision-management-system#tab_2
Hope that helps
