I had a friend who had breast reduction surgery and she mentioned that part of the recovery included having tubes attached to herself that she had to, um, empty and stuff. She said it was really gross and very, very painful. That said, she was really happy about the results after everything healed.

These are drains...you might have to have drains with almost every surgery because the body sends "stuff" to fight against what is going on in surgery - so things can get too swollen and too bruised. The drains prevent swelling and bruising to excess. Drains aren't always used, but are in some cases.
