  1. Tummy Tuck It is not a weight loss technique; although the tissue removed may weigh several pounds or more. Instead, it is a contouring procedure that is performed to return you to a smoother, flatter, better shaped tummy. Through these two incisions, excess skin and fat is removed. If necessary we can also repair weakened abdominal muscles. These muscles may be separated from pregnancy and sutures are used to bring the muscles back together and give your waistline even more definition. While you will not see the muscle repair or sutures because it is underneath, you will feel a tightening from the top of your abdomen all the way down to the bottom of your abdomen. Following your surgery, bandages will be applied to your incisions. In addition, you may be wrapped in an elastic bandage or required to purchase a compression garment to minimize swelling and to support your abdomen as it heals. Two small drains may be placed temporarily to drain any excess fluid or blood that may collect. You will be given specific instructions on how to care of your incisions and drains, including any medications that you may need to take. Your plastic surgeon’s office will arrange your follow-up. Drains are typically removed after one to 2 weeks. For most plastic surgeons, there are no sutures to remove. It is most common to use absorbable sutures which melt on their own within a few months. You can shower the next day after your procedure but should stay out of the ocean or pool for a week or so. Moderate swelling and bruising can last up to 2 weeks, but complete resolution of swelling may take much longer. It is important to avoid strenuous activity for 2-3 weeks after surgery to avoid bleeding complications. If you had a muscle tightening procedure, you may be asked to avoid heavy lifting for 6 weeks. Most patients are able to drive after a few days and can return to office work after a week.
