Tummy tuck - why do some surgeons not use drains?

Asked By:sugarlumpspony in California, CA

Why do some surgeons not use drains? All of the before / after photos I have seen show less swelling with drains and seem to me to look different even at the 3 months post photos. Are the drains expensive? A nuisance? Or do they not make a difference in the long run?
