Drainless Tummy Tuck by Dr. Graw

During the Drainless Tummy Tuck by Dr. Graw, she carefully makes incisions, removes excess tissue, tightens abdominal muscles if needed, and skillfully repositions the skin to create a taut, toned appearance. With reduced post-operative discomfort and no drains to manage, you can achieve the body you desire without the hassle.

With Dr. Graw's Drainless Tummy Tuck technique, there is minimal scarring, shorter downtime, and outstanding results that enhance your confidence and self-esteem. Please note there are rare circumstances where drains are necessary. 

What can a tummy tuck do for my figure?

The effects of pregnancy or age-related body changes often lead to unwelcome changes in your figure, which can be resolved with a custom abdominoplasty in Palo Alto. This procedure addresses the following problems:

  • Stubborn abdominal fat
  • Sagging or excess skin left from weight gain or pregnancy
  • Stretch marks on the lower abdomen
  • Split abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), creating a tummy bulge that lingers, no matter how much you diet and exercise

Tummy Tuck FAQs

Will stretch marks be gone?

Can you tell me more about an umbilical-float tummy tuck, or a mini-tummy tuck?

Will stretch marks be gone?

Stretch marks located on the lower abdomen can often be removed.

Can you tell me more about an umbilical-float tummy tuck, or a mini-tummy tuck?

During a traditional tummy tuck procedure, your belly button will be repositioned to the ideal spot on your new abdominal skin. However, some individuals do not have enough excess skin to have their original belly button opening removed with the excess skin. For these patients, if they mainly have excess skin in the lower belly, they may be candidates for an umbilical-float tummy tuck, in which the umbilicus remains whole, and ultimately scar-free. Others may have a combination of minimal excess skin and no separation of abdominal muscles. These patients may be good candidates for a mini-tummy tuck. Various options exist for the various types of bodies! As such, come in for a consultation with tummy tuck expert, Dr. Grace Graw, and she will thoroughly discuss these options with you.

The duration of the surgery will vary, based on your unique condition, but it can range between three to six hours. You will be under general anesthesia, and under the care of Stanford-trained anesthesiologists who will help you through your surgery and immediately after in the recovery unit. At the end of the operation, Dr. Graw will likely place you in contouring foam pieces and a compression garment to help with contouring and decreasing swelling during the recovery process.
