The Tummy Tuck Process – Pre‑Op, Surgery & Recovery
Pre-Operative Preparation
Your journey begins with a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, who will carefully evaluate your abdominal structure and design a personalized surgical plan. Prior to surgery, you will complete medical clearance and any required pre-operative tests. You will also receive detailed instructions to avoid alcohol, smoking, and certain medications to ensure optimal safety and healing.
Procedure Details
The tummy tuck procedure is performed under general anesthesia. An incision is typically made along the bikini line, allowing excess skin to be removed while the abdominal muscles are tightened for a firmer contour. In some cases, liposuction may be combined with the procedure to further enhance results. The surgery usually lasts between two and four hours.
Recovery & Aftercare
After surgery, you will wear a compression garment for approximately six weeks to help reduce swelling and support proper healing. Mild pain and bruising are normal and are effectively managed with prescribed medication. Most patients can resume light daily activities within one to two weeks, while strenuous exercise should be avoided for six to eight weeks. Final results gradually appear as swelling subsides, typically becoming fully visible within three to six months.
