Drains are plastic tubes that are placed under the skin and exit the body, ending in small reservoirs that the patient empties periodically. Drains are not only uncomfortable, but they are also a potential source of infection. When used, they are kept in place for 2-7 days.<br \/>\nWith the new tummy tuck technique without drains, we use special sutures to restrict the space described above. This limits fluid accumulation since this space no longer exists. These sutures are not palpable on the abdomen and also help the incision to close without tension.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-664\" src=\"https:\/\/drstamatiou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/koilioplastiki-01-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drstamatiou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/koilioplastiki-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drstamatiou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/koilioplastiki-01.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"cielblue\">What is the advantage?<\/h4>\n<p>Recovery is easier, you don&#8217;t have to carry the drainage reservoirs, there is no irritation of the skin at the exit points, you have better mobility, and you can shower on the second day after the operation.
