What is a Drainless Tummy Tuck?

What is a Drainless Tummy Tuck? Abdominoplasty can be performed with a drain or with internal sutures which is referred to as a drainless or modern tummy tuck at blue water plastic surgery we use both techniques and the decision about whether or not to use a drain is based on both your preference and the surgeon's specific recommendation for you and your anatomy after a tummy tuck your body produces fluid in response to surgery the conventional way of managing this is to place one or two drains during surgery a drain is just a soft plastic tube connected to a suction bulb that collects fluid and prevents formation of a fluid pocket or seroma under the skin a drain is temporary and removed easily in the clinic a week or two after surgery in a drainless tummy tuck on the other hand internal quilting sutures are placed to anchor the skin to the abdominal wall this eliminates the space where fluid can collect and form a seroma there are three important considerations in deciding whether or not to place a drain the first is that more fluid is produced with a thicker skin flap so for heavier patients a drain may be recommended the second is that in thin patients quilting sutures can create visible puckers in the skin and a drain might be a better option for the best aesthetic outcome the third is that when liposuction is combined with abdominoplasty there's significantly more fluid and a drain may decrease the chance of developing a seroma at bluewater plastic surgery our focus is on providing you with an individualized treatment plan that best serves your needs and that will get you back to your daily routine as quickly as possible when looking for a tummy tuck surgeon i urge patients not to focus too much on whether or not they will have a drain which is temporary but rather on the end result it's most important to choose a surgeon who you think will provide you with a beautiful surgical result including a natural appearing belly button and who you think is most likely to get you through the whole process safely and with the least amount of discomfort and when you're at the pool this summer and your girlfriend asks you about your amazing tummy you can focus on showing off your results and you won't even remember whether or not you had a drain Blue Water Plastic Surgery Partners 10941 Raven Ridge Rd Suite 102, Raleigh, NC 27614 (919) 870-1052 https://www.bluewaterplasticsurgerypa... https://www.google.com/localservices/... https://www.bluewaterplasticsurgerypa... https://www.michaellawmd.com/tummy-tu... #raleighmedspa #raleighmommymakeover #raleightummytuck
