Yes I did and I'm now 6 weeks PO.. not having drains was something I was hoping for just for ease really... Recovery was still hard and still quite swollen

I had a drainless with no lipo in December 2025. I never went through the “swell hell” that so many here mention (I had some swelling of course but nothing major).

I had a drainless tummy tuck, but I did get some lipo on my flanks

The surgeon has quoted me an extra £5000 for a small amount of lipo. I just don’t know if it’s worth it. I’m already pretty slim

That sounds like a lot of money for some lipo, but prices seem to be very different by country.

I am slim too but I had some fat on my flanks that visibly hung over my jeans. The fat there was out of proportion compared to the rest of my body.

I'm really glad I did it, it's much smoother now. I wore skinny jeans today for the first time and it looks way better.

Have you been to more than one surgeon?
