abdominoplasty or tummy tuck preparation

Before Tummy Tuck Surgery

You will find out if you can benefit from a tummy tuck after your initial consultation. The tummy tuck surgeon will perform a complete evaluation of your health and determine if a tummy tuck will be right for your needs. Be prepared to disclose your full medical history and your expectations for a tummy tuck procedure. The more information you provide your tummy tuck surgeon the more likely you will be satisfied with the results of your tummy tuck because the surgeon will be able to tell you if the expectations you have are feasible. In addition, any individual factors or medical conditions that you may have can influence the outcome of the tummy tuck and increase the risk for complication.

Depending on the amount of fat deposits that you have in your abdominal area will determine what type of tummy tuck will be the most effective. People with fat limited to certain areas may only need a mini tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck is not as involved and is often times performed on an outpatient basis. Some individuals that have a higher amount of fat in the abdominal area may benefit from the tummy tuck in addition to liposuction for a more desirable body contour. Some patients may benefit from just liposuction instead of a tummy tuck. Your plastic surgeon will discuss your options to choose the procedure that will most benefit you.

The tummy tuck consultation will also go over the tummy tuck cost, as well as other things involved with the surgical procedure. Instructions will be given based on the individual patient’s conditions and surgical procedures to prepare the patient for their tummy tuck. Preparing for a tummy tuck, the patient will be given dietary guidelines as well as other lifestyle modifications. These pre-surgical instructions are only temporary and it is important to follow them closely or risk complication during and/or after the tummy tuck.
