I am getting a full tummy tuck in October and have read many different reviews about this surgery. Why do some doctors use drains post op and some a drainless method with "quilt like" stitches ? Is the drainless surgery considered a newer method? Will that help with less swelling during the post op period? Thank you for any information you can give.
