17 Oct Advantages Of A Drainless Tummy Tuck: Is It Right For You?

Abdominoplasty is gaining in popularity among men and women in Toronto who want a firm, flat abdomen. This safe and effective procedure, also known as abdominoplasty, tightens and reshapes the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin, resulting in a much more attractive and sculpted appearance. Dr. Boudana performs this surgery using a signature drainless technique at the Forest Hill Private Plastic Surgery Clinic in Toronto.

The decision to undergo cosmetic surgery is highly personal, and only some have the same goals. Still, if you’d like to benefit from abdominoplasty and are concerned about the pain and prolonged recovery associated with traditional abdominoplasty, Dr. Boudana’s drainless abdominoplasty may be the solution.

What Is A Traditional Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is a procedure that corrects loose abdominal skin, and restores weakened or separated abdominal muscles (known as diastasis of the rectus abdominis), creating a firmer, flatter appearance. Because everybody is unique, the procedure can be customized to address specific concerns.

During the procedure, an incision is made in the lower part of the abdomen, just above the pubis, while a second, smaller incision frees the navel from surrounding tissue. Skin and fat are then separated from the abdominal wall so Dr. Boudana can see the muscles responsible for strength and tone. These muscles are repaired by bringing them together and anchoring them in a new position, thereby firming the entire abdominal wall.

The skin is then stretched over the muscles, and the excess is removed. A new opening is created for the umbilicus, which is firmly sewn in place. Once the procedure is complete, drainage tubes are placed through the skin to allow drainage of any fluid accumulated in the abdomen. This prevents unwanted swelling under the newly stretched skin.

How Is A Drainless Tummy Tuck Different?

Dr. Boudana performs a signature drainless technique at the Forest Hill Private Plastic Surgery Clinic in Toronto. He does this using a new suturing technique that eliminates the need for drains. After a traditional abdominoplasty, gravity can force fluids to flow uninterrupted to the lower abdomen, where they would accumulate without drains. The improved drainless procedure uses rows of stitches under the skin, similar to pricks, to limit large pockets of fluid. This eliminates the need for drains and offers other genuine benefits.

The most significant difference between traditional and non-drainage abdominoplasty is the shorter, more comfortable recovery time without drains.

Is Dr. Boudana’s signature drainless tummy tuck right for you?

Anyone whose confidence or self-esteem is compromised by excess abdominal fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise or by excess skin folds damaged by stretching following weight loss or pregnancy can benefit from the procedure. Candidates must be of stable weight and not planning any further pregnancies.
