One of the biggest downsides to traditional tummy tucks has always been the need for messy and unpleasant drains after surgery. Recently, however, new surgical techniques allow for abdominoplasty to be performed without the need for post-operative drains. Here are a few of the benefits of drain-free tummy tucks that are responsible for propelling this procedure into greater popularity.
-
They Include Liposuction As Well
My exclusive C.L.A.S.S.® drain-free tummy tuck incorporates liposuction at the same time, giving me more ability to create a toned, natural-looking waistline. While the tummy tuck will remove the excess stomach skin and tighten lax muscles for major improvements, lipo provides the finishing touch that enhances overall body contouring results.

No Messy Post-Surgical Drains
For years, patients undergoing a tummy tuck have had the unpleasant task of tracking fluid output and emptying drains during their recovery period. The special stitching technique used in my drain-free C.L.A.S.S.® technique prevents the build up of fluids that has necessitated drains in the past, minimizing one of the primary complications of traditional abdominoplasty.

Faster Recovery
Traditional tummy tucks require a substantial recovery period, usually two to four weeks, but drain-free tummy tucks allow for a better healing process. With less swelling and bruising, in addition to the lack of drains, the recovery period is shorter and more comfortable.

Superior Results Overall
Traditional tummy tuck surgery is effective enough, but lacks the finesse of more refined drain-free surgical and stitching techniques. When these elements are incorporated with lipo, surgeons are able to create better body contours that look flattering and very natural. This unique combination allows for more dramatic results, along with improved patient satisfaction.
