Drainless Tummy Tuck Before & After Case 218

This patient visited us seeking a Drainless Tummy Tuck, motivated by a desire for a smoother, more balanced abdominal contour. She expressed concerns about residual skin laxity after weight changes and was interested in an approach that would minimize downtime. During her consultation, we discussed her expectations, medical history and the benefits of a drainless tummy tuck technique.

The procedure focused on removing excess skin and tightening the underlying muscles for a firmer appearance. By using layered sutures, we eliminated the need for external drains, which often improves comfort during recovery. Postoperatively, she reported manageable discomfort and was able to return to light activity relatively soon after surgery.

Her final result shows a noticeable improvement in contour and skin tautness. She now enjoys better fit of clothes and greater self-confidence in her abdominal area.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Atlanta, I use drainless tummy tuck techniques to support patient comfort and recovery. My background as a firefighter and paramedic guides my approach to safety, education and individualized care. We are committed to helping each patient make informed choices about their treatment options at Primary Office.
