re: plastic surgery to remove extra skin

Yes I had two drains. The drain tubes came out on each side of my body, but the actual drain is a long flat thing that basically stretches the width of your incision. Google Jackson Pratt drain. Or don't maybe. Their removal did not hurt and they came out on PO day 5. Idk how much I'd have spent on drainless surgery/tissue glue. I'd done a decent amount of research and wanted the fluid out, personally. I also had a breast lift and augmentation that produces fluid that must come down. Sorry to be graphic. All of this being said I am very, very pleased with my results and I am almost to the point I'd say I would do it again. Your surgery should be much easier and you will be glad to have skin gone. Make sure your surgeon is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Not just a cosmetic surgeon. Look at other men's results. Play close attention to belly buttons and how they look. I also paid about 500 more for exparel. It's a numbing medication that they inject throughout the abdomen that a lot of people said was worth it for pain relief.
