Keys to Getting the Best Tummy Tuck Results

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures sought out by women at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery. It’s a successful treatment for firming and contouring the midsection by removing excess skin. To make sure you get the best tummy tuck results possible, there are a few key things you can do before and after your surgery.

Select the Right Tummy Tuck for You

There are two types of tummy tucks: a full and a mini. Both remove excess skin from the abdomen; however, a full tummy tuck takes it a step further and tightens the abdominal muscles before pulling the skin taut for a more toned appearance. It’s important to remember that tummy tucks are not one-size-fits-all. What’s right for you may not be right for someone else. Deciding whether to undergo a mini or full tummy tuck depends on how much extra skin you have. A mini tummy tuck only addresses the area below the belly button, so women who have a protruding belly or extra skin across the abdomen may be better suited for a full tummy tuck.

Bring Before-and-After Pictures to Your Consultation

The best way to achieve the results you desire is by browsing through before-and-after photos of actual patients. It’s hard to express what you’re looking to achieve so by selecting realistic results and showing them to Scottsdale plastic surgeon Dr. Shaun Parson, and he can establish a visual of your specific goals. Before-and-after photos can also give you an idea of what is physically possible to accomplish with a tummy tuck. You can see what you like and don’t like and plan your treatment accordingly. You may prefer the tummy tuck results that were combined with liposuction. This allows you to plan before you go under-the-knife.

Follow Your Post-Surgical Directions

You can do everything right leading up to your tummy tuck surgery but if you don’t take time to recover your results will suffer. Following any surgery, you need to give your body time to heal so as not to tear incisions or develop infections. Dr. Parson will provide you with after-care instructions, such as to wear compression garments, that you will need to follow to prevent complications and prevent comprising your new flat and toned tummy.
