How should I prepare for a tummy tuck?
Before a tummy tuck procedure, you’ll meet with a plastic surgeon for a consultation. Your surgeon will learn more about: Your general health. Your health history. Any previous surgeries. Any medications and supplements you currently take. Your goals and expectations for the procedure. After learning more about you, your surgeon will explain what tummy tuck options work for your situation. Your provider will take photographs of your abdominal area to compare the before and after results of your procedure. Smoking tobacco products can increase the risk of complications and delay healing. If you smoke, you’ll have to stop for a certain period your provider sets. For example, you may need to stop using tobacco products for at least one month before surgery and for at least two weeks after. Your surgeon will also recommend you eat well-balanced, complete meals leading up to and after the procedure. Achieving proper nutrition can help your body heal. As part of your preoperative consultation, your surgeon may instruct you to stop taking certain blood-thinning medications and dietary supplements for a certain period before and after the surgery. This includes aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs). Don’t stop taking any medications unless a healthcare provider approves it. You’ll also receive information to help you plan for surgery and recovery. You may need to: Ask someone to drive you to and from the procedure and help you out at home. Move frequently used items in your home to be within arm’s reach. Choose clothing to wear that’s loose and comfortable. Use a hand-held shower head to bathe or use a bathroom chair for comfort. Your surgeon will answer any questions you might have to give you more comfort and ease presurgery anxiety.
What happens during a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck is usually an outpatient procedure. This means you can go home after the surgery. You might need to stay in the hospital overnight if you’re undergoing more than one type of cosmetic surgery. On the day of your procedure, you’ll receive general anesthesia. This will put you to sleep so you won’t feel any pain. The steps of a tummy tuck vary based on what type your surgeon performs. Your surgeon will: Make an incision (cut) in your skin in your abdominal area (usually between your pubic hair and your belly button). Pull down upper abdominal skin. Remove excess skin. Make an opening and move your belly button into position. Insert drainage tubes (if necessary to drain excess fluid). Close the incision site and cover it with bandages. After the procedure, you’ll be under observation until your anesthetic wears off and your surgeon approves you to go home.
What happens after a tummy tuck?
Immediately after tummy tuck surgery, you may feel tired and disoriented as the anesthetic wears off. Your abdomen will feel sore after the procedure. Your provider will let you know what kind of pain relievers are safe for you to take for discomfort. Your surgeon will also tell you about the best way to sit or lie down so you’ll be in the least amount of pain. Your plastic surgeon will give you specific instructions to follow after surgery to help you heal. Because of the anesthesia’s effects, you’ll need to have someone with you who can drive you home after surgery. If possible, ask a friend or family member for help at home during the first day. Remember to take it easy and relax. You should limit excessive physical activity immediately after surgery — especially strenuous activities — until your healthcare provider approves it. You can get up and walk around carefully but avoid running or lifting heavy objects. If you have any questions about your healing or what to do, don’t hesitate to contact your provider.

What are the dangers of a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck is generally a safe procedure, but as with any surgery, there are risks. Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you during your consultation so you can make an informed decision about your health. Complications of a tummy tuck may include: Scarring. Bleeding. Pain and swelling. Infection. Seroma (accumulation of fluid). Poor wound healing. Blood clots. Numbness or other changes in sensation. Asymmetrical (uneven) healing. Widened apparent scar. You may have an increased risk of complications if you have an underlying health condition that affects your blood circulation or wound healing.

What is the recovery time for a tummy tuck?
It could take up to up to three months to see the final result. In addition, the scar will continue to improve further for up to one year. While you’ll generally see immediate improvement after surgery, the result will continue to improve as swelling goes down over several months. During the first week, it’s normal to feel discomfort. You should start feeling more like yourself after a couple of weeks. Bruising and numbness are common during this time. You may feel a tightness or pulling sensation around your abdomen as you heal. This will go away. Contact a healthcare provider if you notice complications or experience severe pain, bleeding or swelling.
When should I call my healthcare provider?
Contact a healthcare provider right away if you experience complications after surgery, like: Severe pain. Excessive bleeding. Swelling. Fluid or pus leaking from an incision site. Let your healthcare provider know if you have any questions about how to prepare for surgery or how to take care of yourself after surgery.
