Cosmetic Procedures - Tummy Tuck - Before Surgery
The stomach and waistline aresas is evaluated to determine which combination of procedures may be effective. (liposuction, mini-abdominoplasty, full abdominoplasty) The location and width of the surgical scar and the amount of anticipated skin removal from the procedure is pointed out.. Photographs are taken for documentation and to evaluate the amount of improvement postoperatively. The procedure is discussed and realistic expectations are reviewed.
It is very important that any medications which contain aspirin are stopped at least two weeks prior to surgery. In addition, the cessation of smoking at least one month prior to surgery is optimal to prevent potential problems with skin healing.
