Abdominoplasty is one of the most extensive cosmetic surgery procedures for the body. A full tummy tuck typically involves many components including, removal of excess skin, muscle tightening, liposuction and stretching the remaining skin tightly to pull it down into position. Though it is impossible to predict how each person will feel after their procedure, keeping in mind the extent of work to be done will help you prepare and understand what to expect without being unnecessarily anxious.

Cosmetic surgery requires a significant financial investment and it is very reasonable to ask how long you can expect the results from your procedure to last. Abdominoplasty, in particular, is one of the more invasive cosmetic procedures and the emotional, mental, and physical impact can be significant. Naturally, patients want to know, can I count on my great results lasting a lifetime and what kind of maintenance, if any, is required?

There are a few concepts that can be discussed, however, that will give you a better idea as to how you may feel after an abdominoplasty procedure.
Just like each recovery is unique, each tummy tuck […]
