A “drainless” tummy tuck doesn’t mean your body stops producing fluid.

Progressive-tension sutures can close the space beneath the abdominal skin and reduce fluid accumulation—but they don’t eliminate fluid production.

That’s why I combine these internal sutures with one temporary drain. In my experience, this helps remove fluid more quickly, reduce swelling and discomfort, and make recovery easier. The drain is usually removed within the first week.

Would having a drain for several days affect your decision to undergo a tummy tuck? Let me know in the comments.

Do breast implants really need to be replaced every 10 years? The short answer is no.

Breast implants do not have an expiration date. If they still look and feel good—and there are no signs of rupture, capsular contracture, pain or another problem—you may not need another operation simply because they are 10 years old.

The decision to replace breast implants should be based on how the implants are doing, how you feel and whether your goals have changed—not just the date they were placed.

Of course, breast implants are medical devices and may not last a lifetime. If you notice pain, firmness or a change in the appearance of your breasts, contact your plastic surgeon for an evaluation.

I discuss the subject in greater detail in the full-length video on my YouTube channel, Dr. Schulman Plastic Surgery (link in bio)

This is a MUST WATCH if you are taking GLP medications for weight loss and are also planning on having a surgery. GLPs are amazing for weight loss, but they also carry some unique risks for your surgery. Delayed gastric emptying and nutritional depletion can increase your risk of potentially life-threatening complications such as aspiration pneumonia and delayed wound healing. This is why we have our patients stop these medications 2 weeks before surgery. Thai allows time to get nutrition a little better and also allows the stomach motility to move closer to normal. This is something that you MUST discuss with your surgeon prior to your surgery.

Best sale ever 😂. In all seriousness, there are some things you shouldn’t be bargain shopping for and plastic surgery is one of them. Some other things would be sushi and parachutes.

I get it, we all want engagement but filling your posts with bot comments isn’t it. Even though the bot comments have become much more advanced, it’s still very obvious to anyone who reads the comments. This is becoming a growing trend in plastic surgery and even though the surgeons may be amazing and respected in the field, it only serves to discredit them and their skill.
List your favorite bot comments below so we can all have a chuckle about them.
