Drainless Tummy Tuck

Drainless tummy tucks remove fat, similar to a standard tummy tuck, but are uniquely designed to remove the need for postsurgical drains. In many cases, this procedure can offer the most comprehensive results with the least complicated recovery.

The procedure begins by removing fat via liposuction, then an incision is made in order to tighten and remove any loose skin/muscle tissue. The last step requires layered sutures, which allows the patient to recover from the surgery without the burden of drains.

Choosing the drainless route often expedites the recovery time, allows the scar to heal evenly, and is more comfortable for the patient post-op. Following the drainless tummy tuck, you will need to wear a compression garment to assist your body’s healing process. After one to two weeks, you can discuss whether or not you are able to return to your daily activities.
