Drains or no drains for tummy tuck?

June 7, 2023
Asked By:SuperMomof2 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

I’m having a Mommy Makeover in a few months. Breast lift/reduction and full tummy tuck. My doctor will use drains. I had 2 other consults and those docs did as well. Having second thoughts, as I have school aged kids that will be in school and I can’t afford to be down for 2 weeks. What are the pros and cons? I recently read drains are the “lazy” way for a surgeon. Help!
