Abstract
We describe our current technique of drainless abdominoplasty using barbed progressive tension sutures. The perioperative management and detailed steps of procedure are outlined, including indications for concomitantly performing liposuction and repair of diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles. This approach reliably improves abdominal contour, minimizes complications, and is straightforward to learn and perform.
