Mommy Makeover Recovery
If you want the procedure, have had children or have lost a great deal of weight, and are stuck with unsightly and unpleasant flabby abdominal skin, there’s a very good chance you’ll be a candidate for the procedure. There are a few caveats:
- You must be in reasonably good health. Medical screening will be performed to ensure that the procedure can be performed safely.
- If you are a mom, you should not be planning on having any additional children as there are risks to obtaining multiple tummy tucks.
- You should be at or close to your goal weight and reasonably sure you will be able to maintain your weight over the long term. Tummy tucks are not a type of weight loss.
Liposuction In Beverly Hills
Liposuction in Beverly Hills and throughout Southern California has never been more popular at our offices, and we know why. When it comes to sculpting the best possible body for patients, the outstanding doctors of Beverly Hills Physicians are ready to use every tool available to produce truly outstanding results.
Tummy Tuck Recovery
Once the surgery is complete, patients are provided with surgical dressing equipped with drains; these will be used for eliminating excess fluids during the initial recovery period. Before leaving our facility, the Beverly Hills Physicians team provides patients with prescriptions including antibiotics and pain medication to control any discomfort. They are also given a surgical garment to wear for the next several weeks to ensure proper healing. Patients are also equipped with detailed instructions on how to take care of the dressing, and the wound underneath it, during the very important first stage of healing.
As with all surgeries involving a general anesthetic or sedative, tummy tuck patients will need a designated individual – often a friend or family member – to take them home after being released from the facility. Once at home, patients will need someone to stay with them for the first night and a few days afterward as they will be unable to perform many ordinary tasks at first. If you have young children at home, you also need to arrange to have help until it will be safe for you to take on the rigors of caring for children by yourself.
Tummy tucks impact the core area and therefore involve more downtime than most other plastic surgeries, which is one reason why combining the procedure with breast augmentation or breast lift in a mommy makeover may reduce total recovery time compared to getting the procedures separately. You will need to take some time off of work – perhaps as long as a month – to rest and recover following a tummy tuck. That’s especially true if your job involves physical activity.
During your recovery, the Beverly Hills Physicians team will stay in contact with you to ensure your recovery is progressing appropriately. If any questions or problems come up, it’s important to contact your plastic surgery team as soon as practical.
Patients often ask about how long it will take to see their outcomes. With tummy tucks, the impact of the procedure will become apparent in a few days as the initial swelling begins to disappear. However, it may take as long as about 90 days to reveal the full impact of the procedure.
What is a Thight Lift?
When a large amount of loose skin starts to appear on the upper parts of the legs, a thigh lift may be the only permanent solution. While excessive sun, poor health habits, aging, and other factors can play a role, a rapid weight loss is the most common cause of large amounts of loose skin on the thighs. Beverly Hills Physicians is a network of outstanding doctors that includes many of the finest plastic surgeons in the greater Los Angeles area; they are the best possible resource for anyone considering plastic surgery to deal with the depressing and sometimes uncomfortable problem of loose skin after weight loss around the thighs or elsewhere on the body.
When Do Patients Get a Tummy Tuck?
The most common situations in which people seek out tummy tucks are:
Post-Pregnancy
Pregnancy stretches the skin of the stomach very rapidly and then unstretches it even more rapidly after the baby is delivered. It can also cause the separation of abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). These issues can reverse on their own after a mother’s first childbirth but, over time and more pregnancies, skin and muscles tend to remain as they were. A tummy tuck surgically removes loose skin and removes excess fat through liposuction. If needed, the surgeon will suture loose ab muscles together for a flatter and more appealing tummy.
After Losing Weight
Losing a significant amount of excess weight is one of the best favors people can do for themselves. Unfortunately, they are often left with unsightly excess skin and fat deposits. Moreover, obesity can cause the abs to separate as they may after pregnancies. Therefore, mothers who experience weight issues can suffer from a diastasis recti double-whammy. In these situations, a carefully performed tummy tuck can reverse what no amount of exercise and good nutrition can cure.
Can I Afford a Tummy Tuck?
Tummy tucks are regarded as cosmetic procedures and therefore are very rarely covered by health insurers – even though in many cases the benefits in terms of pain relief and comfort can make a big difference in someone’s quality of life.
The important thing is not to let potential costs discourage you before you even know what they’ll be. The amount can vary radically based on numerous factors and the only way to find out what your procedure will cost is by scheduling a free consultation. Even if the money involved seems intimidating at first, our consultants can suggest plans to make the procedure work within most people’s budgets.
Why You May Want a Tummy Tuck
Losing substantial amounts of weight or maintaining your weight following one or more pregnancies can mean a great deal of time and effort – whether that was getting bariatric surgery and permanently changing your lifestyle or staying on top of your diet and exercise regimen after having one or more children. When your reward for this very hard work involves large folds of flabby and sometimes uncomfortable skin and fat, it can be downright depressing. It’s easy to feel let down when you realize that no amount of exercise or low-calorie dieting can get rid of your left-over flab. A tummy tuck is currently the only way to reverse this frustrating situation.
