The Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Process
Consult
During your initial visit for your Tummy Tuck consultation, expect to provide your complete medical history, including all your medications, allergies, and previous surgeries. You’ll also undergo an extensive physical exam and blood tests before your surgeon takes photographs to aid in planning and performing your Tummy Tuck. Finally, you’ll receive essential instructions to prepare for treatment as well as a realistic explanation of the results you can expect to achieve.
Procedure
During a Tummy Tuck your surgeon will make an incision between the pubic hairline and the belly button. Next, the abdominal skin will be lifted to repair weakened abdominal muscles and excess skin will be removed. The abdominal skin is then repositioned and stitched back together.
Recovery
After you Tummy Tuck surgery, you will experience some discomfort once your anesthesia wears off. Our goal is to keep you as comfortable as possible. So, your Tummy Tuck surgeon will provide you with medication to mitigate any pain and soreness. You may also experience some abdominal swelling, which usually subsides after the first week. However, swelling in the lower abdomen may remain slightly longer. After one week, you will visit your doctor to have your stitches removed.
Post Surgery
Most people can resume normal activities within two weeks of the Tummy Tuck procedure but must refrain from strenuous physical activity and exercise six to eight weeks following surgery. It is also recommended that you abstain from smoking for at least the first two weeks after surgery.
