A drainless tummy tuck, also known as a "no drain" tummy tuck, is a type of plastic surgery procedure that involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, as well as the tightening of the underlying abdominal muscles. Unlike traditional tummy tuck surgery, which involves the use of drains to remove excess fluid from the surgical site, a drainless tummy tuck does not require the use of drains. This can result in a quicker recovery time and fewer post-operative complications. Drainless tummy tucks are typically performed on an outpatient basis, using general anesthesia or intravenous sedation.
