After Tummy Tuck Surgery
Following your surgery, dressings or
bandages may be applied to your incisions,
and you may be wrapped in an elastic bandage
or a compression garment to minimize swelling
and to support your abdomen as it heals.
A small, thin tube may be temporarily
placed under the skin to drain any excess
blood or fluid that may collect.
Within a week or two, you should be standing
tall and confident about your new slimmer
profile.
Be careful
Following Dr. Tavoussi’s instructions
is key to the success of your surgery.
It is important that the surgical incisions
are not subjected to excessive force,
abrasion, or motion during the time of
healing. Your doctor will give you specific
instructions on how to care for yourself.
Be sure to ask questions:
It’s very important to ask Dr. Tavoussi
questions about your breast lift procedure.
It’s natural to feel some anxiety,
whether it’s excitement for your
anticipated new look or a bit of preoperative
stress. Don’t be shy about discussing
these feelings with your plastic surgeon.
