No-drain abdominoplasty with progressive tension sutures.

Abstract:

:Seroma formation is one of the major postoperative complications of abdominoplasty. Progressive tension sutures have been proposed as an adjunct procedure to combat this problem. Apart from being a simple addition to abdominoplasty, the sutures also eliminate other complications, such as postoperative drains, and increase the patient's mobility.
