Do progressive tension sutures help healing?

I'm looking to get a tummy tuck after my BBL in September. I live in Miami. I read that the new procedure involves using progressive tension sutures for a TT because it allows the body to heal faster with much less pain. Any doctor using this method? And if not , why not? Thank you!
