Discover Painless Drainless Tummy Tucks: Your Guide to Recovery

What is a Painless, Drainless Tummy Tuck?

Imagine just seven days after a tummy tuck being able to move freely, walk with ease, and even bend over and touch your toes. Impossible? Not with a drainless tummy tuck. This revolutionary technique uses a method known as progressive tension sutures, which eliminates the need for a cumbersome fluid drain and helps speed up recovery. It provides the same sought-after results of a traditional abdominoplasty with less pain, less risk for infection, and outstanding aesthetic outcomes.

Skeptical? We understand! As one of the most prominent pain-heavy, difficult recovery reported plastic surgeries, it’s hard to imagine. But innovative techniques and incredible surgical skill can make it a reality.

Drawbacks Of Traditional Tummy Tucks

One of the most daunting aspects when considering a tummy tuck is the recovery process. With traditional tummy tucks, after excess skin and fat are removed, there is a space between the muscles and tissue where fluid build up is possible. Fluid accumulation is a common occurrence after many kinds of surgery where space may be left inside the body.

To prevent complications from build up, a special tube is placed that goes from this in-between space to a small plastic bulb where the fluid can collect. This drain can be challenging to manage, is an infection risk, and, especially in the case of traditional abdominoplasty, can cause discomfort and pain in the area. It also leaves an additional scar site which is undesirable.

PainLESS Drainless Tummy Tuck Recovery

A smoother recovery means easier time spent recuperating and often better results. The specialized medications provided before, during, and after drainless tummy tuck with Dr. Daniel Gould result in pain levels from zero to two in most patients and include not just pain medication but anti-inflammatory medication for a superior recovery experience.

With a speedy, low-to-no-pain recovery, this procedure is especially beneficial to patients with active lifestyles or demanding schedules. Two of the most common challenges for patients when it comes to standard abdominoplasty are pain and drains, both of which are greatly reduced or eliminated through this procedure.

How It Works

A drainless tummy tuck starts with an incision along the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area, to remove excess skin and fat and tighten abdominal muscles. The area above the pubic bone is often lifted as well for a more toned appearance all around. Then, progressive tension sutures are used to distribute tension over a wider area and strategically close the space between tissue where fluid could accumulate. Since tension is tamed, the chance of developing thick, wide, or raised scars is also reduced. In addition, this method preserves a more anatomical appearance of hills and valleys in the abdomen for a highly natural-looking result.
