As leading San Diego tummy tuck surgeons, our team recognizes many people feel self-conscious due to the appearance of their abdomen. Significant weight loss, pregnancy, and genetic factors can cause the stomach skin to become lax and fatty tissue deposits to accumulate beneath it. Even the most rigorous diet and exercise regimen might not help remove the excess skin and fatty tissue. Fortunately, a tummy tuck in San Diego can be very effective in enhancing the appearance of the midriff.

Abdominoplasty, otherwise known as a tummy tuck, is a procedure that removes the excess skin of the lower abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles. After having children, it is common for the lower abdominal skin to be stretched out, have a significant amount of stretch marks, and the musculature to become lax (diastasis recti). Our surgeons can correct these aesthetic issues by performing a tummy mini or full tummy tuck procedure.

While it might be tempting to indulge in comfort food while you recover from abdominoplasty, your body actually needs the opposite in order to have the strength to heal. Choose nutritious foods such as fresh vegetables, fruits, avocados, nuts, whole grains, and lean proteins.
While strenuous exercise is off-limits after a tummy tuck, you are allowed to take gentle 20-30 minutes walks that can help support circulation and blood flow, which in turn helps with your healing process.
As you recover, you will need to put as little pressure as possible on your abdomen. Therefore, the best position for your head is at an incline. You can use large, fluffy pillows to prop yourself up so you can remain semi-upright during the night.
Compression garments are an excellent way to reduce some of the inevitable swelling that occurs after a tummy tuck procedure. The binder or girdle can help you to maintain your new, more sculpted body shape, even while you are asleep.
Keeping well hydrated is mandatory after a surgical procedure, as it can help remove toxins from the body, keep you regular, and improve your chances at a smooth, stress-free recovery. Try to drink water consistently throughout the day. The suggested amount is eight 8-oz glasses per diem.
