Will I need drains in my body after getting a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck can absolutely be performed without drains. The key to doing this is to limit the amount of liposuction performed with the procedure. At North Texas Plastic Surgery, we don’t believe in limiting the amount of liposuction performed with our tummy tuck. This is because the liposuction portion of the procedure is perhaps the most critical determinant of your shape after your tummy tuck. Since we are going to maximize the amount of fat removal with your tummy tuck, you will most likely need drains for the procedure.
