Abdominoplasty

A tummy tuck is often recommended when diet and exercise are no longer sufficient to eliminate excess abdominal skin and improve the contour of the abdomen.

Contraindications

Abdominoplasty is generally not recommended for patients with:

• Diabetes mellitus;

• Cancer;

• Blood clotting disorders;

• Severe obesity;

• Cardiovascular diseases;

• Acute infectious diseases;

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding;

• Recent abdominal injuries.

The procedure is also not recommended for patients under the age of 18 or for individuals who cannot safely undergo general anesthesia.

Preparing for abdominoplasty

Before surgery, patients must attend a consultation with a plastic surgeon. The physician will then prescribe the necessary preoperative examinations, which typically include:

• Blood tests;

• HIV testing;

• Hepatitis screening;

• Coagulation profile (coagulogram);

• Electrocardiogram (ECG);

• Venous ultrasound (vein scan);

• Chest X-ray;

• Consultations with other specialists, if required.

Preoperative recommendations

For approximately three days before surgery, patients are advised to follow a light diet and avoid foods that may cause bloating, including:

• Carbonated beverages;

• Fresh fruits and vegetables;

• Bread and other gas-producing foods.

Patients should also avoid:

• Alcohol;

• Smoking;

• Blood-thinning medications (unless otherwise instructed by their physician).

Following the procedure, the surgeon will provide detailed postoperative instructions to promote a safe recovery and achieve the best possible results.
