Summary

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the ideal drain placement in patients undergoing abdominoplasty or panniculectomy. There are currently no patient reported outcome measurements on ideal drain placement and this study aims to collect objective and patient reported measures to standardize ideal drain placement.

In this study a medially and laterally placed drain will be compared to each other in each study participant. In this study subject will have two drains. One will be lateral and one medial. The drains will be secured and dressed in the same manner. At subjects planned post-operative visits, subjects will be asked to complete surveys to evaluate their experience with the drains. This study will not require additional clinic visits for study purposes.
