When people visit us to talk about getting a tummy tuck, they’re often worried about what the healing process will be like after the operation. This is completely understandable. A tummy tuck can give you amazing results, but it does come with a longer scar compared to other types of surgery. This longer incision means your body has to work a bit harder to heal itself.
RELATED: What is a no-drain tummy tuck?
Here at Centre for Surgery, we’re committed to giving you the best care we can. That’s why our expert surgeons have worked hard to develop a new way of doing tummy tuck surgeries. Our goal is to make your recovery as safe and as comfortable as possible. We want to ease your concerns and help you get back to your normal life more quickly.
Innovating the Tummy Tuck Procedure: Our Approach to Eliminating the Need for Post-Operative Drains
In traditional tummy tuck surgeries, also known as abdominoplasties, surgeons used to reposition and tighten the skin but would leave a space unattached between the skin and the underlying muscle. This unattached area could cause complications, such as the formation of a seroma, which is a collection of fluid within the body. This unwanted fluid buildup can hinder the healing process and lead to increased swelling and discomfort.
RELATED: What does a tummy tuck involve?
To deal with this issue, plastic surgeons traditionally inserted small drainage tubes into the affected area to help remove the excess fluid. The drawback? Patients had to go about their daily lives with these drains in place for several days, or even weeks, which can be both uncomfortable and a hassle to manage.
Here at Centre for Surgery, we constantly question the status quo and strive for better solutions for our patients. We asked ourselves if there was a way to remove the need for these inconvenient and uncomfortable drains altogether. We’re committed to delivering the highest level of patient care, so we’ve invested time and research into developing techniques that make post-operative recovery smoother, safer, and more comfortable for our tummy tuck patients.
By doing so, we hope to not only enhance the overall patient experience but also to speed up the healing process, allowing our patients to return to their normal routines more quickly and with less inconvenience.
Advancing Abdominoplasty: Introducing Our No-Drain Tummy Tuck Technique for a Faster, More Comfortable Recovery
At Centre for Surgery, we believe in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the realm of plastic surgery. Understanding that post-surgery drains can be a significant inconvenience for our patients, we’ve dedicated ourselves to extensive research to develop an alternative. The result is our no-drain tummy tuck procedure, which uses an innovative technique known as Progressive Tension Abdominoplasty.
In this improved method, we meticulously seal the space between the skin and muscle layers, leaving no room for fluid accumulation. Instead of the typical stitches, we employ a unique kind of internal stitch known as a barbed suture. These barbed sutures lock the tissues securely in place, eliminating the risk of fluid build-up beneath the skin. The sutures act like tiny anchors, holding everything tightly together and promoting quicker healing.
This revolutionary approach has been a game-changer for us and, more importantly, for our patients. Not only does it make the recovery period safer, but it also ensures a much more comfortable experience. With no drains to manage and fewer complications to worry about, our patients can focus on what matters most: healing quickly and getting back to their everyday lives.
We’re thrilled to offer this state-of-the-art technique for suitable patients, confident that it significantly improves the patient experience by streamlining the healing process and reducing post-operative discomfort. Our commitment to pioneering new methods like this underscores our dedication to providing the absolute highest level of patient care.
Why Isn’t the No-Drain Tummy Tuck Technique More Widely Adopted? Our Take on Prioritising Patient Comfort and Safety
You may be wondering, if the no-drain tummy tuck technique is so beneficial, why don’t all plastic surgeons use it? There are a couple of reasons for this. First, it’s an advanced method that requires a high level of skill and years of experience to perform correctly. Second, it takes additional time in the operating theatre to complete the procedure.
Some surgeons may opt for the traditional approach, perhaps because they’re not willing to spend the extra time in surgery or because they’re more accustomed to using drains. However, at Centre for Surgery, we take a different stance. We believe that if spending a bit more time during the operation can make your recovery faster, more comfortable, and potentially even safer, then it’s time well-spent.
From our point of view, prioritising patient well-being is paramount, and if that means taking a little extra time in the operating room, we’re more than willing to do so. The added minutes in surgery can translate into a significantly shorter and smoother recovery period for you, reducing the likelihood of post-operative complications. It’s this commitment to patient care that drives us to continually explore and adopt advanced techniques, like our no-drain tummy tuck procedure, to provide the highest level of care possible.
