When it comes to abdominoplasty, a good deal of

preparation is required. If you get your house ready

well before the operation takes place, complying

with the post-op instructions of the surgeon

becomes easier. This means that there will be lesser

complications during the period of recovery. Tummy

tuck surgery or abdominoplasty is definitely a major

life changing event. While getting ready for this

plastic surgery, you need to think and plan

carefully. Given below are some steps that will

definitely help in ensuring the best outcome.

Improve your overall health

Take care of your overall health for making the

abdominoplasty a success. With good health, the

overall complications are reduced and the

recovery is speedy.

Your weight should be well under control. The

results of tummy tuck can be negatively affected

with substantial weight loss or weight gain. The

appearance of overlying skin can be affected to a

great extent. A weight goal should be set and

maintained at least a year before the tummy

tuck surgery is scheduled. For this, a moderate

and nutritious diet should be taken.

Do plenty of exercise as well. With these habits,

getting in good shape is easy. Smoking should be

quit immediately. Cigarettes are harmful to the

body in several ways and are dangerous if you are

getting a surgery done. Cigarette smoke contains

certain contaminants and chemicals which would

impair wound healing. Necrosis can also be

experienced.

Be mentally prepared

Working on your emotional and mental health is quite

essential. Consider why you are getting the surgery

done. It should be for personal reasons and not for

pleasing someone. Plenty of time should be given for

taking the final decision. Answer some questions such

as:

Are you ready to cope with any possible

complications?

Will you be satisfied if you don't get the desired

results?

Do you have anyone trustworthy to provide support

through the period of emotional upheaval that may

follow the cosmetic surgery?

Consult with a good plastic surgeon

The next important phase is consulting the plastic

surgeon. Talk about your expectations and hopes as

well as the risk factors involved. Be clear about all

the issues that you want addressed. This might

include:

Separation of abdominal muscles

Protruding abdomen

Pockets of fat that don't go away even with diet

or exercise

Lack of definition around the waist

Stretch marks

Excess skin

An experienced and reliable plastic surgeon would

discuss the pros and cons of abdominoplasty with the

patients and help them take an informed decision.

Patients also benefit from the excellent post surgery

care that these surgeons provide to help maintain the

attractive aesthetic results achieved.
