A Faster Recovery Than a Traditional Tummy Tuck
Traditional tummy tucks require drainage tubes that you have to empty, measure, and care for at home, making it harder to sleep, shower, or walk upright during your initial recovery stages.
Dr. Deigni’s drainless technique closes the incision internally, so there are no tubes to manage or remove later. Many patients are walking upright within two days and return to non-physical work in about one week.
How Dr. Deigni’s Drainless Technique Works
Dr. Deigni’s drainless approach creates a flatter, stronger abdomen without the need for weeks of downtime.
Here’s how it works:
Dr. Deigni removes excess skin and reshapes the abdominal area
He repairs separated abdominal muscles to tighten and strengthen the core
He performs monsplasty if needed to create a smoother lower-abdominal contour
Liposuction can be added to the flanks and lower back during the same surgery
He uses layered internal sutures to close the space where fluid would normally collect
Because that space is closed internally, you won’t need drainage tubes after surgery
You’ll go home without drains to empty, measure, clean, or have removed later
Many patients are walking upright within two days and return to non-physical work in about one week

Everything You Should Know Before Booking
How is this different from a traditional tummy tuck?
A traditional tummy tuck uses external drains to remove fluid during recovery. Dr. Deigni closes that space with layered internal sutures instead, so you can go home without tubes.
Will insurance cover a drainless tummy tuck?
A drainless tummy tuck is typically considered cosmetic and normally isn’t covered. We offer flexible financing plans through CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, and PatientFi to make your procedure more accessible.
How long is recovery?
You’ll be able to walk upright within 2 days, get back to non-physical work in 1–2 weeks, and you’ll be cleared for exercise at 6 weeks.
Can I combine this with liposuction or a Mommy Makeover?
Yes, many of our patients choose to combine procedures for a more complete transformation.
What does it cost?
The cost of your tummy tuck depends on your goals and whether additional procedures are included. We collect a $150 deposit for your consultation, and this is applied to your remaining procedure balance. We’ll cover exact pricing and financing options at your consultation.
