Toronto Plastic Surgeon Dr. Frank Lista Uses New Approach for No-Drain Tummy Tuck

Dr. Frank Lista, a leading Toronto plastic surgeon and director of the Plastic Surgery Clinic, has developed a new surgical approach to drainless tummy tuck surgery called "Progressive Tension Abdominoplasty." Throughout his prolific career spanning several decades, Dr. Lista has innovated several new surgical techniques that have been adopted by cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons worldwide. His new approach to drainless tummy tuck surgery is expected to revolutionize the field once again.

Unlike conventional tummy tuck surgery, Dr. Lista's no-drain tummy tuck procedure involves the use of internal stitches called Quill sutures. These sutures can be used to prevent the collection of postoperative fluid (seroma) that would otherwise require the use of drains. Surgical drains are small tubes that are placed under the skin and attached to a reservoir bag on the outside of the body, where postoperative fluids escape. While they help prevent infection and other complications, surgical drains may also cause complications and hinder the healing process as well as limit a patient's mobility. By using Quill sutures to lock the skin and muscle in place, Dr. Lista is able to close the space where fluid would typically accumulate, thereby eliminating the need for surgical drains.

The Plastic Surgery Clinic of Toronto is the first medical facility in Canada to use the Quill suture for drainless tummy tuck surgery and remains the highest volume user of Quill sutures in the country. Most importantly, Progressive Tension Abdominoplasty allows Dr. Lista's Toronto drainless tummy tuck patients to experience a much faster, more comfortable recovery and avoid the risk of complications associated with surgical drains.
