Are You Considering a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a major surgical procedure that removes excessive fat and skin from the middle and lower abdominal areas on your body. This procedure aims to dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. However, it should not be considered as an instant surgical solution to lose weight. Tummy tucks are ideal for women who went through several pregnancies and are carrying around loose skin and stubborn fat deposits on the outer layers of their body and around the middle and lower abdomen.
What Does a Tummy Tuck Entail?
During the procedure, your surgeon will remove excessive skin and fat deposits from the middle and lower abdominal areas. Your surgeon will also tighten the abdominal muscle wall for a flatter appearance. It is considered a major surgical procedure and will be treated as such, which means that you need some time to recover from the surgery afterwards.
What Happens After My Surgery?
For the first few days following your surgery, you can expect some swelling and discomfort from the abdomen. Your surgeon will prescribe specific painkillers to manage any pain. Your surgeon will also instruct you on how to shower and change your clothes during recovery. It is pivotal to your recovery that you keep to the prescribed painkillers, avoiding any interference with the blood coagulation in your body. You also want to maximise the oxygen flow in your body for optimal results. Therefore, if you are a smoker, prepare to quit smoking for at leas t2 months before and after your surgery for optimal results.
