Understanding the treatment
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and may address the abdominal wall according to the findings. It is not a weight-loss treatment. Previous pregnancies, scars and future pregnancy plans are considered. Incisions and possible combinations with liposuction are discussed individually.
Your personal treatment plan
A personal consultation brings your goals, examination findings and suitable alternatives together. Your medical history, medicines and previous procedures inform the assessment. You receive an individual proposal, with scope, costs and next steps discussed before you decide.
Your medical consultation
Surgical counselling includes bleeding, infection, wound problems, scars and anaesthetic risks. Blood clots and possible further surgery are also considered according to the procedure. Your personal risk is assessed using the examination and medical history.
Medical counselling covers suitability, alternatives, possible side effects and the expected course. A particular outcome cannot be guaranteed. This information helps you prepare; a personal examination determines which treatment is appropriate.
Preparation and aftercare
A considered plan also covers the time after your appointment. Discuss work, exercise, travel and follow-up with your clinician. Recovery and the development of results depend on the procedure and your healing. Appointment details identify your treating clinician, treatment location and aftercare contact.
