Description
David Alfonso reviews his own series of drainless circumferential abdominoplasty cases and the technique behind them. Drainless tummy tuck methods are well described for standard work, but data on extended or full-circle body contouring are scarce. His review covers a run of consecutive patients treated over two years.
In the 2026 paper, Alfonso reports a low overall rate of complications and high patient satisfaction with the results. Beyond the numbers, the paper walks through how the surgery is done without drains. Patient selection gets close attention, since the right candidates make the method work. The aim is to teach other surgeons where this approach can be applied with safety.
