FAQs Before Tummy Tuck Surgery
As with any surgical procedure, a tummy tuck leaves behind scars. These usually start to fade after about a year. The speed of this process depends on a number of factors, including the patient’s skin tone, the care they receive after the procedure, the experience of the doctor, whether they smoke, and the quality of their skin. Each patient’s healing process is unique.
Just like any other surgical procedure, there are risks involved with a tummy tuck. These include infection, irregular scarring, embolism, bleeding, and risks related to anesthesia.
