Answer: Drain position when used in abdominoplasty. Your drain indeed extends above the incision deep to the abdominal flap. While it is present it can generate traction they can cause unpleasant pulling sensations.

Answer: Why do I feel like the drainage tube is above my tummy tuck incision? Thank you for your question. I would speak with your operative surgeon about the tubes and where they were placed during surgery. Typically drains are placed along operative areas that had a lot of dissection performed, or in dependent areas where fluid could accumulate. Typically for a tummy tuck this would be up the middle of your stomach and along the horizontal incision line. It sounds like you tube is in a normal position, but again check with your surgeon.

Answer: Your tummy tuck drain feels like is placed above the incision. Greetings,The surgical incision can create many sensations including a sense of stretching. It is also possible that you can feel the presence of an underlying drain tube beneath the lowermost part of your tummy tuck.If the drain is causing your sensation of "stretching", you will be relieved when your surgeon finally removes this tube.Best Regards,

Answer: My guess is that it probably is above the incision… You may feel like the drainage tube is above the incision because it propbably is above the incision. Generally, the area above the incision is where the drainage tube is placed to remove excess blood or fluid that may accumulate beneath the flap and interfere with healing. Sounds like your drain tube is in the correct position.
