How does a no-drain tummy tuck work?
During conventional surgeries, surgical drains are commonly placed to help in handling the excess fluids that can develop after procedures. However, these surgical drains, especially in the abdominal area, can be problematic for patients, making everyday procedures uncomfortable or difficult. This extends the recovery time needed after plastic surgeries. Instead, Dr. Thomas Wiener offers a tummy tuck treatment that does not require surgical drains, allowing for improved comfort and faster healing. Instead of placing surgical drains, progressive tension sutures are used instead. These help in lowering the seroma rate and relieves tension in the treatment area.
What are the benefits of a no-drain tummy tuck?
A no-drain tummy tuck is:
- Effective in addressing excess fluids produced after surgery
- Significantly lowers the risk of seroma
- Reduces the risk of infection
- Improves the appearance of remaining scars
- Less tension and discomfort following the procedure
- Speed healing and recovery, while allowing more comfort
