WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR TUMMY TUCK?
During surgery, a horizontal incision is made from approximately hip bone to hip bone, and a small incision around the belly button. Total incision length and shape depends on the amount of excess skin. Dr. Maia will then remove excess skin and soft tissue and repair or tighten the abdominal muscles. Tummy Tuck can also be combined with liposuction around the flanks and hips to give you a lean appearance with natural-looking contours. If you have stretch marks and scars from prior surgeries, such as a caesarean section or appendectomy, Dr. Maia may be able to arrange your skin and tissue to eliminate them. Sutures, clips, tape, and/or skin adhesives may be used to secure the incisions together.
First days after a Tummy Tuck:
Tummy tuck is usually an outpatient procedure, and patients go home a few hours after surgery. Because a tummy tuck involves surgery on the abdominal muscles, recovery can take more time than other procedures.
Discomfort and mild pain are to be expected during the first week or so. Light walk around the house is encouraged to maintain healthy circulation.
After and before the procedure, Dr.Maia and our Team will give you detailed instructions for keeping the area clean and well-maintained for proper healing.
WHEN CAN I RETURN TO WORK?
Health and fitness levels can determine how quickly you heal. If you have a desk job, you should be able to go back to work in about 10 to 14 days. However, if your job is physically demanding and involves strenuous activities such as lifting, it may take up to six weeks before you are able to go back to work.
All throughout the recovery period, Dr.Maia should be consulted to know what can and can’t be done.
Our office provides close patient’s care 7 days a week throughout the healing process.
WHAT WILL MY SCARS LOOK LIKE?
Tummy tuck incision will leave a horizontal scar along your lower abdomen. In most cases, the scar can be hidden under the bikini bottom or a pair of underwear. The scar will fade over time.
How to reduce scar’s visibility?
Although scarring is inevitable, there are steps you can take prior and after surgery to minimize scars’ visibility.
- Select a reputable surgeon with the experience and expertise necessary to perform the procedure.
- Take good care of yourself: quit smoking, stay active, and ensure your diet is well-balanced – prior and after the surgery. That will reduce the risk of complications.
- Follow your surgeon’s post-surgical guidelines: you will be advised to apply certain products that can improve the size, color, and texture of your scars. You will be educated on post-surgical care during your initial consultation, and in greater detail, during your pre-op appointment.
Recovery tips:
- Take time off! Clear off your schedule for the next 2-3 weeks before returning to work.
- Adjust your sleeping position to avoid putting tension on your stomach. Prop yourself up with pillows or settle into a reclining chair.
- Go for light walks! Gentle movements are your friend and can speed up your recovery and minimize the complications.
- Be patient! Tummy tuck results don’t appear overnight. It will take time for swelling to subside.
