Gearing Up For A Tummy Tuck Surgery:

Prior to consenting to perform a tummy tuck surgery on patients, plastic surgeons assess the medical history of a patient. At this juncture it is best that the patient divulges any health complication, drug allergy, medical treatments and previous pregnancy to the plastic surgeon.

Educating the doctor about your medical history is necessary to minimize the chances of any complications that might occur after an abdominoplasty procedure. Usually plastic surgeons put the patient on a well balanced diet some weeks prior to the surgery. Drinking and smoking is restricted two weeks prior to the abdominoplasty procedure.

Based on the conclusion reached after the physical and psychological evaluation, the cosmetic surgery specialist deduces which tummy tuck procedure is best suited for the patient.

For instance, patients who have smaller and less extensive pockets of fat in their abdomen are suggested a mini tuck surgery while patients who have excess amount of sagging skin and muscle tissue are recommended a complete tummy tuck surgery.

If there is even more work required on the abdominal area, doctors advice patients to combine a tummy tuck surgery with a breast lift or a liposuction procedure. For a safe and smooth plastic surgery procedure educate your doctor about your body.
