A Tummy Tuck in Naperville is a cosmetic surgery for removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen. A tummy tuck is a common procedure by the Lipo Doc for men and women who have excess skin in the abdominal area, typically from weight loss or post pregnancy.
A tummy tuck is not intended as a procedure to remove fat as an attempt to lose weight, but instead as a procedure to tighten the skin that is loose due to excess weight loss. If you are considering a Tummy Tuck in Naperville, it is important that you only have the procedure done by a certified cosmetic surgeon. Before the surgery, you will meet with the surgeon to talk about your goals with the surgery, the reasons you want the surgery and to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. A good candidate for a tummy tuck is typically someone who has problems in the abdominal area such as sagging, excessive or loose skin, stretch marks and a round shaped abdomen that would accept the flattening of the skin. The majority of tummy tuck patients are able to leave the hospital a few hours after the procedure. However, if necessary, arrangements can be made for an overnight hospital stay. It is important that you avoid any lifting, straining or bending for the specific amount of time instructed by your surgeon. The majority of people are able to return back to work in about two weeks after the surgery unless your job involves excessive bending or heavy lifting, which will require about four weeks away from work.
Exercising can typically be started in about two or three weeks after the procedure, but heavy workouts such as sit-ups or running cannot be done for about one month. You will need to have someone with you during the procedure, because you will not be able to drive home. It is also recommended that you have someone stay with you for at least the first night in case there are any complications and to allow you to rest. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the surgeon post surgery to ensure you have a good recovery.
