Tummy Tuck Before and After Photos

Abdominoplasty which is commonly known as tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves the removal of fat tissues, excessive skin and other extra tissues from the abdomen and tightening of abdominal muscles. The surgery helps in getting back a lean and contoured figure with a toned midriff. Thorough discussion with your consultant about pre and post operation preparation will help you chalk out medication and nutrition details. Post operation care involves restricted activities and enough rest for quick recovery of the wounds and incisions.

To prepare for surgery, you will have to follow a few restrictions about food and exercise and also smoking and alcohol consumption as suggested by your surgeon. You need to stop any medication or food that may make the blood thin. Doctors advise not to consume nicotine products or alcohol prior surgery as they can bring complications such as fluctuating blood pressure or respiratory issues during surgery.

Patient is given anesthesia before the surgery and then under complete sedation trained plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas Fiala will make horizontally oriented incision between the patient’s navel and pubic hairline. All the excessive layers of fat and skin tissues are removed by you’re the plastic surgeon, and a new belly button opening is made. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures and drainage tubes are placed around the area to prevent accumulation of blood and fluid. These are removed a couple of days after surgery and patient may be given special garment to prevent fluid buildup in that area which can be worn while moving around the house in Orlando Florida.
Post-surgery, you will find that your tummy has gained a contoured shape and is more aesthetically appealing and is more in proportion with your body weight. Adequate rest and restricted movements are required to safeguard the incision stitches.
