Can I lose weight through a tummy tuck surgery?

Though diet and exercise are the healthiest way to lose fat and gain muscle, an abdomnioplasty can be a successful solution to removing the unwanted skin and hard to get rid of fat that lies on the stomach. Also people who find that they can’t get rid of a bulge that is resistant to exercise find the tummy tuck a quick and easy alternative to prolonged exercise.

What degree of scarring should I expect from my tummy tuck?

With a surgery that in most circumstances involves an incision from hip to hip, you will be left with a certain amount of scarring. Although you can immediately cover this scar by swim wear and underwear, this lower-abdominal scar may take some time to fade to its final appearance. After a year or so of healing you will be able to see the end result of your scarring, but many men and women notice that it fades within the first few months of healing.

Is there anything I can do to reduce scarring or bruising?

By resting for the first few days after your surgery you can reduce the propensity for long-term scarring by allowing your skin to heal. By applying scar management products to the area such as vitamin E lotion or other scar creams to the area you can greatly reduce the scarring. Remember to wait at least six weeks (your surgeon will give you the exact date) before applying these creams and oils as you may be subject to damage fresh tissue.

Also, wearing the proper post-surgical compression clothing will help you to see your maximum results. By purchasing a 3-panel abdominal binder you will be given an increased chance for minimal scarring. This garment is available for purchase at our online shop with 10% saving.

This three panel binder will apply the exact amount of pressure needed to the newly operated-on abdominal region. You will see an increased final result as this panel will stop fluid from building up, while preventing swelling and decreasing bleeding. The easy velcro binder is allows for quick adjustment. Tummy Tuck Patients are required to wear this binder for a minimum of six weeks, while more involved abdomnioplasty procedures may require the wearing of a binder and a girdle. You will be discharged in a girdle after your surgery, but because of the length of time the girdle needs to be worn most patients find it beneficial to replace it.

What benefits can males see from a tummy tuck?

More and more men are taking advantage of this type of surgery. Both males and females can see dramatic results from treating a large, saggy, or otherwise unsightly stomach area from abdomnioplasty.
