Drain location for abdominoplasty?

User Avatar

I've seen photos where the plastic surgeon places drains in the mons area, others where it's along the incision, cases where there is only one, sometimes two... Is it surgeon preference? Patient dictated? Is one location better than another for removal post op or for post op pain? Thanks so much for your response!
