What is a Drainless Tummy Tuck, and Is it Better Than Traditional Procedures?

The tummy tuck is a common plastic surgery procedure for both men and women. If you've lost a significant amount of weight or given birth, returning to your old body with diet and exercise alone is sometimes impossible.

Therefore, a tummy tuck procedure may be right for you. It's important to understand that not all tummy tucks are performed with the same technique.

An example is the drainless tummy tuck combined with liposuction. It's a procedure that has gained traction within various cosmetic circles due to its excellent results and shorter and less complicated recovery time. 

What Is A Tummy Tuck Without Drains? 

It's a type of tummy tuck combined with liposuction, with a layered suturing technique that eliminates the need for drains. The incision will be smaller than during a tummy tuck, but less skin tightening can be performed throughout the full abdominal region.

Patients can skip the fat removal steps, but most opt to combine liposuction with abdominal tightening for a full contouring effect. Nevertheless, drainless tummy tucks have also progressed in terms of the technology used and the precision of their results. One of the key players within this area is AirSculpt® technology. 

Benefits Of The AirSculpt® Tiny Tuck

The AirSculpt® Tiny Tuck™ is a minimally invasive process that eliminates loose skin on the stomach without using a needle or general anesthesia, which means that it's a lot safer and more advanced than traditional procedures. 

There are various benefits of undergoing a procedure by Elite Body Sculpture. Like drainless tummy tucks, our treatment is less invasive than traditional tummy tucks, meaning the scars are not as large, and patients can remain wide awake. This is an excellent drainless alternative for patients looking to tighten areas below their belly buttons, such as those dealing with overhanging skin after a C-Section or pregnancy. 

Patients can combine the Tiny Tuck™ with AirSculpt® fat removal, which uses a proprietary handpiece and cannula which pluck fat cell by cell to deliver the most precise results on the market. 

Another beneficial aspect is that no drains are involved with this combined stomach approach, meaning you won't have to worry about monitoring fluid output or emptying the drains frequently.
