Before Abdominoplasty ("Tummy Tuck”)

IMPORTANT
You must stop smoking for
several weeks before and after the surgery, because
smoking can interfere with healing.

During your first consultation, your doctor will ask you about
your expectations, your general health and any specific conditions
that might interfere with surgery. Then your doctor will
examine you and develop a plan for surgery and healing with
you, including whether you will have a partial or complete
abdominoplasty and the type of anesthesia that will be used.
