Thoughts on tissue glue vs. drains: which is best for my tummy tuck? (Photo)

February 22, 2016
Asked By:ajearly in Texas, TX

Getting a full tummy tuck in 2 weeks doc offered an alternative to drains, a tissueglue relatively new. Doc usually uses drains though. Its no extra charge. Not having to deal with drains would be great but shortcuts often go wrong. Doc uses a pleated or "pie crust" closure if that matters and I'll post some pics of myself not overweight but have a lot of loose skin on tummy.
