Voted Why Should I Consider a DC Tummy Tuck?
If you have been tirelessly dieting and exercising in hopes to lose stubborn stomach fat, but haven’t had much success, a DC tummy tuck may be right for you. Also known as an abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat as well as tightening the abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck lets you attain the waist you want and can improve your overall body shape.
Tummy tucks can’t stop how weight-gain affects your body but can provide long-term results if you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
What Kind of DC Tummy Tucks are There?
Drs. Brown and Bruno will work with you to determine which procedure best fits your needs.
Tummy tuck options include:
- Full tummy tuck: An incision is made around the belly button and across the hip line.
- Mini tummy tuck: This procedure can be supplemented by liposuction and involves a smaller incision.
- Extended tummy tuck: Best for patients who have had significant weight loss, and involves incisions around the flank, lower back, and hip line.
How Should I Prepare for my DC Tummy Tuck?
Your doctor will walk you through all pre and post-operative care. Some pre-operative instructions include:
- No smoking at least four weeks prior to surgery.
- Do not take aspirin or aspirin-containing products.
- Remove any abdominal area or belly button jewelry prior to surgery.
- Fill all your prescriptions before surgery.
