In this episode of Big Butts No Lies, Mavi sits down with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Abigail Rodriguez to discuss drainless tummy tucks, rapid recovery protocols, and the newest innovations in plastic surgery.

Dr. Rodriguez explains how the drainless technique works, why it can reduce swelling and complications, and how it compares to traditional tummy tucks with drains. She also dives into her enhanced recovery methods (ERAS), which aim to minimize pain, reduce narcotics, and help patients heal faster with less discomfort.

They also talk about the exciting future of fat grafting using Alaqulín (lab-processed injectable fat) — a game-changer for patients with little fat to transfer — and the use of tiger mesh in revision breast surgeries. Plus, Dr. Rodriguez shares her new partnership with AVDA to provide reconstructive care for survivors of domestic abuse.

Whether you’re considering a tummy tuck, a breast revision, or simply want a smoother recovery, this episode is packed with powerful insights for anyone planning cosmetic surgery.

Key Topics Covered:

• What makes a tummy tuck “drainless” — and is it safe?
• Who qualifies for a drainless tummy tuck (BMI info included!)
• How rapid recovery protocols reduce pain and speed healing
• Why ERAS minimizes opioid use and improves outcomes
