Figure 1
(A) Postoperative image showing the placement of a Penrose drain in the right axilla after hematoma evacuation. The drain is used to facilitate the removal of residual blood and prevent fluid accumulation, promoting proper flap healing. (B) Image taken on the sixth postoperative day, 3 days after the removal of the Penrose drain on the third day. The dressing is clean with no signs of hematoma or active bleeding. The flap appears intact, with no visible complications at this stage. (C) Image taken 3 weeks postoperatively, showing significant necrosis of the flap.
