How to Prepare for Tummy Tuck Surgery

July 8, 2019 by spcadmin

Tummy Tuck

If you tried to get a flat stomach through dieting and exercise with no results, it might be time for tummy tuck surgery in Orlando to get the body you want. Tummy tuck surgery, or abdominoplasty, works by separating the fat from the abdominal skin and pulling it tight, which results in a firmer, more toned appearance. It requires some careful planning to ensure success. These tips will help you prepare for a tummy tuck from the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery.
Make Sure You Meet the Requirements
A tummy tuck isn’t for everyone. Our doctor will evaluate you to ensure you don’t have health conditions that interfere with the outcome. Good candidates for abdominoplasty are within 20-30 pounds of their ideal weight, done having children and dieting, and have no keloid scars.
They have lost weight, but still loose skin hanging over the pubic region. A tummy tuck will not be effective for removing a beer belly since it only addresses loose skin over the abdominal muscles. Clients need a good heart, kidney, and lungs to handle the anesthesia.
Stop Smoking and Taking Certain Medications
If you smoke, you will be advised to stop a week or two in advance of tummy tuck surgery. Stopping smoking completely is the best option, but otherwise, don’t resume it for at least three weeks after the procedure. Smoking decreases blood circulation and slows the healing process. You will also need to stop taking certain medications and supplements that can increase bleeding several days or weeks in advance.
Arrange for Assistance at Home
You will need a ride to and from the procedure as well as help at home with chores and children. You won’t be able to lift heavy objects for a while, so try to clean as much of the house as possible the day before the surgery. For times you have to be alone, buy meals and snacks that you can prepare easily.
Prepare the Recovery Area
Depending on your home size, arrange the recovery area in a quiet place, because you will need several days of rest. Have a recliner ready with several pillows, and place toiletry items, remotes, and reading material where you don’t have to bend.
Organize your medicines using a plastic medicine organizer and keep it on a table within reach, and get them filled in advance, if possible. Our doctor will let you know when you can return to normal activity and work.
