After a TT with muscle repair why are some drains placed in front of the vaginal area rather than to the front side of both hips/vaginal area? I've seen some drains placed in front of the vaginal area right before the opening :-/
Answer: Drains and Tummy Tucks The drain can be brought out anywhere. The sides or the front are the most common locations for the drain to exit. Discuss this with your surgeon.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Tummy tuck drains Most surgeons use one to two drains followers no a tummy tuck and try to place them so they are easy to take care of and so they don't leave a scar in a noticeable area. I think the hair bearing pubic area is the best because the hair will cover the scar.

Answer: Tummy Tuck: drains Tummy Tuck: drainsthe placement is up to the surgeon, it really doesn't matterI’ve stopped using drainage tubes. So typically after tummy tucks, we use plastic tubes that would be placed after surgery. And the drainage tubes would collect a small amount of blood and fluid that would sometimes accumulate after a tummy tuck.But a number of other surgeons stopped using these in the last few years. And I followed this very closely, and their results seemed to be the same. And so I started to do this, or provided the service for my patients, and there’s been no downside.

Answer: Drain placement after abdominoplasty Bringing drains out in the mons pubis area is my preferred sight because it will likely be the least visible place for a scar once you have healed. If placed really low her that would make me cringe a little too. I also recommend that my abdominoplasty patients wax a couple of days prior to their surgery so that the pubic hair does not interfere with dressings. Shaving can actually increase the risk of a post-operative infection. This location also makes it easy to feed the drains through the crotch opening of a liposuction garment if you will be using one after your surgery.
