Tummy Tuck Surgery in Raleigh NC is a cosmetic surgery that involves removing the excess fat from the abdominal area of the body, and replacing it with a new abdominal pouch. This procedure is an advanced form of cosmetic surgery that uses specialized equipment to perform the surgery.
During the operation, local anesthesia will be used to numb the area being operated on, as well as to reduce swelling and bruising. The incisions will be made by minimally invasive techniques, and the incisions can be hidden behind clothing or under the skin by covering them with bandages.
The recovery time for this type of surgery is usually not long but will depend on how large of a surgical incision was made. The patient may take several days off of work and may also need assistance with dressing and bathing in order to regain his or her normal self. Most patients can return to work within a week or two after their surgery, but you should consult your physician before returning to work so that you are able to do so safely.
If you are planning a major change in your body, you should schedule a consultation with your surgeon so that he or she can discuss any possible risks with you and your family. During the consultation, your doctor will likely ask you to keep a regular routine of exercise and weight loss in order to avoid complications from any surgery. While your doctor is most likely going to recommend a traditional six-month weight loss program, he or she may also suggest alternative forms of diet and exercise such as yoga or acupuncture.
After surgery, your surgeon will give you some instructions about the care that you need to take in order to speed up the healing process and prevent further damage from occurring, such as pain or infection. If you suffer from arthritis or other joint-related problems, your doctor will probably recommend you take pain medications and not use ice on the surgery site while you heal.
You should never decide to have a Tummy Tuck surgery on your own without consulting a qualified doctor. The results that you will receive from the surgery are dependent on the skill and experience of the surgeon, the patient’s health and age, the severity of the tummy tuck and the location of the incision.
