The standard tummy tuck procedure should be methodical and well thought out to get your best results.  I’ll outline the procedure you should follow to have a successful tummy tuck with the best results.

The first step in a tummy tuck procedure is quite obvious. Choosing your surgeon.  Whether it’s a plastic surgeon or tummy tuck surgeon, a safe bet is to make sure they are a member of the American Society Of Plastic Surgeons.  This means they:

  • Have finished a minimum of 5 years of surgical training with two years specifically in plastic surgery.
  • Has been fully trained and has experience in most plastic surgery procedures, which include breast surgery, body and face, and even reconstructive.
  • Only operate in accredited medical facilities
  • Obide by a very strict code of ethics.
  • Maintain their medical continuing education credits and requirements.
  • Is board certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery.

    • The next step is a complete consultation discussing medical history, prior surgeries, and any possible health risks.  This consultation also covers pre-during-and post-operative procedures. As well as any questions or concerns you may have going into it.

    Your surgeon may ask you to get further medical evaluations; take a certain medication or vary the ones you’re taking; if you smoke, stop well before the surgery; and aspirin, anti-inflammatory ills and herbal supplements because they may very well increase bleeding.

    You’ll then have specific instructions on what you can or cannot do the day of your surgery, the anesthesia they will use for your tummy tuck procedure, and what you need to do after the surgery.

    Scarless Tummy Tuck - Is There Such A Thing

    Is there such a thing as a scarless tummy tuck with abdominoplasty surgery? Unfortunately no matter how you look at it, an incision must be made to remove unwanted fatty tissue. With an incision comes a scar.

    However, with a tummy tuck surgery or often referred to as abdominoplasty surgery, a cosmetic surgeon can do a great deal of amazing work reducing the size of the scar, as well as the visibility of it. With any tummy tuck procedure there are really only two kinds you can do.

    There is the standard full tummy tuck surgery and the lower or mini tummy tuck prodedure. The latter is often termed the scarless tummy tuck due to the smaller scars and lower visibility of these scars. This incision can easily be hidden under a bikini or underwear.

    Another benefit of the scarless tummy tuck procedure is the risk to the patient is much lower.  This type of surgery can be done in less than two hours.  This means the patient is under anesthesia a much shorter period of time, lowering the risk significantly. Also the risk of surgical complications is much lower with this shorter procedure.

    Scarless tummy tuck procedures are done under a local anesthesia with maybe a sedative. Once the tummy tuck is completed the patient is release to recover in the comfort of their own home.

    As you can see, the scarless tummy tuck is less invasive and a much quicker recovery. Something you might want to consider before having your tummy tuck done.
