3 Little Secrets to See Even Better Results from a Tummy Tuck

Doing your homework before getting any cosmetic procedure is an important first step to get the absolute most out of your procedure.
If you want to get the best tummy tuck results, follow these top three preparation tips.
1. Get the Timing Just Right
While there’s no age cutoff to getting a tummy tuck, you do need to consider where you are in life when thinking about getting plastic surgery. You’ll see the best outcome if you wait until you’ve completed your family, since a future pregnancy could mean you’ll require a revision surgery shortly down the road.
Another timing factor to consider is your fitness journey. Are you still aiming to lose weight before your tummy tuck? If so, coming as close as you can to reaching your fitness goals before body contouring surgery will help you maximize your results.
2. Add Lipo
Liposuction addresses excess fat, while a tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens weakened muscle tissue.
Liposuction and abdominoplasty often go hand-in-hand. In most cases, adding lipo to your tummy tuck can enhance your results by getting rid of stubborn fat that doesn’t respond very well to diet and exercise.
3. Go Drain-less
Ask your plastic surgeon if he or she offers a drain-free tummy tuck option. This technique eliminates the need for post-surgical drains, which can make your recovery that much simpler and smoother.
The no-drain tummy tuck technique does require advanced surgical skill, so be sure to work with a plastic surgeon who has experience with this specific procedure.
