Benefits of a Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that is designed to remove excess fat and skin in the stomach region. By removing the excess, the stomach takes on a flatter, more fit tone and shape. Whether you are seeking to regain your pre-pregnancy form in a mommy makeover or you are pursuing a post-bariatric tummy tuck following a weight loss surgery, you deserve to feel good in your body.

What To Expect During Tummy Tuck Surgery and Recovery

During your procedure, you can expect to be under the effects of general anesthesia or sedation. Once you are properly prepared for the operation, your surgeon will make some incisions based on the amount of excess skin you are hoping to address. They then trim the excess skin and resuture your skin back into place, including, if necessary, creating a new spot for your belly button. Once everything has been trimmed and sutured into place, your doctor will finish the surgery and send you to the recovery area. 

After your Woodinville tummy tuck, you will often have bandages, even potentially a compression garment, to help regulate the swelling and provide extra support as your body recovers from the surgery. There may be a need for some small tubes to be housed temporarily under the skin to aid in draining the excess fluids from the area. Your doctor will go over the specifics of your recovery with you, as everyone is different. Our team will provide information on caring for the surgical site, what medications you may take for pain and healing, particular concerns that may arise during your specific path to recovery, and what intervals to schedule follow-up appointments.
