At Forma Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ, after weight loss surgery can be a life-changing procedure. For many, it serves as a final step in their weight loss journey.
A tummy tuck addresses both loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles after weight loss. During the procedure, two incisions are typically made – one near the pubic area and another around the belly button – to tighten the abdomen and remove excess skin. This approach helps restore a smoother, firmer midsection, enhancing the overall body contour.
Often, patients receive liposuction to remove pockets of fat. This technique helps refine body contours and complements the removal of excess skin, resulting in smoother, more balanced outcomes. Liposuction may be applied to multiple areas, including the abdomen, arms, thighs, and flanks, depending on individual needs.
After being released from the hospital, you will need to schedule enough time to rest at home. We may place tubes near the incision sites to control drainage, and you should wear compression garments to decrease swelling. Generally, it takes roughly 2-4 weeks until you will feel well enough to resume low-impact activities, but depending on the treatment plan, it could take longer. Most patients fully recover in about six months.
Follow all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon.
Wear compression garments as directed to reduce swelling and support healing.
Keep incision sites clean and dry to prevent infection.
Take prescribed medications, including pain relievers and antibiotics, as instructed.
Avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, or high-impact exercise for the recommended period.
Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
Maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated to support recovery.
Rest and allow your body time to heal; gradual activity is better than rushing the process.
Before undergoing skin removal surgery, we highly recommend being at your goal weight. Candidates should also have realistic expectations and be without severe health conditions, such as blood-clotting disorders, that can increase surgical risks.
