Is there any difference in healing with drains and no drains tummy tucks? No drains seems to be less hassle whereas drains seems more maintenance and irritation. How do excess fluids escape the body if there are no drains and is there any difference with healing? And it's one more expensive than the other

Answer: Drains or not I would focus less on the few days you will have the drains in, and more on the expertise and artistry of your surgeon. That matters more than some irritation in the short-termBest of luck! Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Answer: Tummy Tuck - Drains vs. No Drains Hello, Drains are often used with a tummy tuck to drain excess fluids from the body. When drains are not placed, patients are at a higher risk for fluid collection under the skin, called a seroma. Overall, drains can help you avoid many complications including increased scar tissue, seromas, more office visits etc. If you have any questions regarding this topic, consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!
