Tummy Tuck Surgery in Toronto

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is plastic surgery that is used in order to take out a surplus of fat and skin from around your abdomen. Abdominoplasty is effective in improving the appearance and feel of the abdomen by getting rid of an excess of extended skin: for example after a pregnancy or a very aggressive diet, such as bariatric surgery. With a tummy tuck the patient receives a more natural-looking abdomen that compliment is traditional weight loss methods.

Liposuction is sometimes used as a complement prior to suturing. A tummy tuck is a relatively common plastic surgery procedure that is useful for targeted results. It is not without risks and the profile of the patient can significantly influence the outcome of the operation. A full evaluation is therefore crucial before scheduling the procedure: Dr. Golger will be able to tell you all you need to know prior to your surgery.

Minimizing Complications From Abdominoplasty

Risks should always be taken into full consideration: good physical health and a full medical assessment is necessary prior to your procedure to make sure that we minimize risks and side effects. Smoking in particular is unadvisable before and after a tummy tuck, so smokers should check with Dr. Golger to find out if abdominoplasty is an option for them.

Side Effects

Side effects like scarring, bruising, pain and swelling are common after a tummy tuck, and their inconvenience can be reduced with specific medication prescribed by Dr. Golger. It is also important to tend to the bandages applied over the stitches in order to avoid further complications.

Recovery

Recovery times will vary according to the scale of the operation and the patient’s profile. After a tummy tuck it may take up to four weeks for a person to be able to go back to a “normal” life, and final results may take up to six months after healing. Physical activity can be a problem in the weeks after due to the weakening of the abdominal muscles after the procedure.
