Let’s talk drains after a tummy tuck! 👀
While they may not be everyone’s favorite part of recovery, drains play an important role by removing excess fluid and helping reduce the risk of fluid buildup.
Your surgeon will determine when they’re ready to come out based on your drainage, not simply the number of days since surgery. Be sure to record your daily output, follow your post-op instructions closely, and never attempt to remove a drain yourself.
A little patience now can support a smoother recovery and beautiful results later! ✨
