The number one source of discomfort for patients after a tummy tuck are drains. Using a drainless technique, eliminates the source of that discomfort. Patients seeking a drainless tummy tuck often ask, “if there are no drains where does the fluid go?” The answer to this question involves both the technique for the surgical dissection, as well as, the method for closing the incisions. The technique for removing the tissue disrupts less of the lymphatic channels which results in the creation of less fluid. The method for closing the incisions involves placement of barbed sutures between the subcutaneous space and the abdominal wall closing the dead space where fluid can accumulate. Using both of these surgical maneuvers eliminates the need for the placement of drains, and a much better postoperative experience for patients.
