Before Your Tummy Tuck

Your cosmetic surgeon will answer any questions you may have about abdominoplasty during your initial consultation. Make sure you bring up any concerns and report you medical history accurately to ensure maximum safety during the procedure. All of the details will be taken care of by the time you walk in the surgery suite, so you can relax and concentrate on healing once the procedure is through.

During Your Tummy Tuck Appointment

Your cosmetic surgeon will put you under sedation, enter the abdomen area with a discreet incision, and tighten the abdominal muscles across the stomach area. The incisions usually extend across the lower abdomen and above the bikini line, accompanied by a belly button incision. The tummy tuck procedure lasts from 1 – 3 hours, depending on the individual and the procedure’s complexity. The level of “tightening” of the inner girdle area also depends on the individual’s tummy tuck goals. You will be stitched, bandaged, and moved to a recovery area where your will be briefed on home care as soon as you are coherent.

After Your Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tummy tuck patients can expect a certain amount of discomfort in the abdomen area following surgery. Pain medication is standard, and you may experience temporary loss of sensation in the area. Stitches are usually removed in about a week. Abdominoplasty patients can expect to look presentable within a month of surgery. Your doctor will give you complete instructions of post-operative care and follow-up visits. Congratulations! You can now enjoy your tighter, more attractive stomach appearance.
