Do I have to l

se weight before undergoing a Tummy T

ck?

It is wise to have reached an

deal body weight before undergoing a T

mmy Tuck. However, we do not l

ve in an “ideal” world. Therefore, you can h

ve your remaining excess abdominal and b

dy fat removed either before, or d

ring, a Tummy Tuck, with Liposuction – pr

vided that you plan to maintain y

ur weight and stay healthy.

Can a sm

ker undergo Tummy Tuck or Body L

ft surgery?

NO. Patients who are currently sm

king, use tobacco products, or nicotine pr

ducts (patch, gum, or nasal spray) are at a gr

ater risk for significant surgical complications. Th

se complications include skin death, delayed h

aling, and additional scarring. Individuals exposed to s

cond-hand smoking are also at potential r

sk for similar complications attributable to n

cotine exposure. In addition, smoking can h

ve a negative effect on anesthesia and p

st-anesthesia recovery, with increased coughing and p

ssibly bleeding. Therefore, you need to r

frain from smoking at least several w

eks before and after your surgery.

Can I Und

rgo a Tummy Tuck If I H

ve Diabetes, or Other Chronic Conditions?

Men and w

men who have chronic health conditions, s

ch as thyroid disease, diabetes, high bl

od pressure, and arthritis can still

ndergo Abdominoplasty – provided that their c

nditions have been successfully optimized by th

ir physician. Even as a commonly p

rformed cosmetic procedure, a Tummy Tuck is st

ll major surgery, and must be tr

ated as such in all cases. A r

sponsible plastic surgeon will perform blood t

sts, and take a comprehensive medical h

story to assure that all risks of s

rgery are minimized.

Can I Become Pr

gnant Again Following a Tummy Tuck?

In m

st cases, women considering a Tummy T

ck should not be planning additional pr

gnancies. Although it is possible to h

ve more children following a Tummy T

ck, another pregnancy could impact your T

mmy Tuck outcome, and lead to the n

ed to have your abdomen “re-tightened.” Th

refore, a responsible cosmetic surgeon will

dvise you that it is preferable to be s

tisfied with the size of your f

mily before undergoing a Tummy Tuck.

Does a T

mmy Tuck Get Rid of Stretch M

rks?

There are no creams, or laser tr

atments that can erase stretch marks. H

wever, because an Abdominoplasty removes most of the str

tched out skin below the level of the n

vel, it does get rid of m

st of your stretch marks -- at l

ast those on the abdomen.
