Why Consider a Drainless Day Abdominoplasty?
If you’re considering an abdominoplasty (commonly referred to as a tummy tuck) but are concerned about the recovery process, a Drainless Day Abdominoplasty (DDA) may be an option worth exploring.
This advanced technique is designed to enhance comfort, improve recovery, and provide natural-looking results — all without the need for post-operative drains.
What Is a Drainless Day Abdominoplasty?
A Drainless Day Abdominoplasty uses progressive tension sutures to eliminate the need for surgical drains. This method helps reduce fluid build-up and can minimise the discomfort and risks associated with traditional drain-based techniques.
Unlike conventional abdominoplasty, which often requires an overnight hospital stay, Dr. Linsell performs the DDA as a day procedure, allowing most patients to return home the same day under appropriate medical supervision.
BEFORE & AFTERS
