Plastic surgery recovery isn't always linear.
You may feel great one day and more swollen or uncomfortable the next. Healing can fluctuate, and that's why following your surgeon's specific recovery instructions matters.
Rest. Hydration. Compression.

MYTH: Liposuction and a tummy tuck do the same thing.
Liposuction removes excess fat. A tummy tuck addresses excess skin and can also address the abdominal wall.
They can sometimes be combined, but they serve different purposes.

A tummy tuck isn't simply about making the stomach smaller.
The goal is to create a balanced abdominal contour by addressing the areas that need it, which can include excess skin, fat, muscle separation and the pubic area. #plasticsurgery#tummytuck
What matters most when choosing a plastic surgeon?
Experience? Communication? Results? Surgical approach? Patient care?
If you were choosing a surgeon, what would be at the top of your list?
One of the hardest parts of plastic surgery recovery isn't always the pain.
It's patience.
Swelling takes time to settle, and your early result isn't necessarily your final result.
Recovery is a process, not a race.
MYTH: Your weight alone determines whether you're a candidate for body contouring.
FACT: Your anatomy, excess skin, fat distribution, overall health, goals, and the areas being treated all matter.
If you could ask a plastic surgeon ONE question before having a tummy tuck, what would it be?
Recovery? Scarring? Pain? Results? What surgery actually involves?
Drop your question below. ๐
A tummy tuck is about more than removing excess skin.
Depending on the patient, surgery may address excess skin, abdominal fat, muscle separation, the pubic area, and overall abdominal contour.
Every surgical plan should be individualized to the patient's anatomy and goals.
