Consultation for a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Find Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Clinics in London & UK »

The initial consultation with your surgeon is a very important step in achieving a good result that you are happy with.  It is imperative that you are comfortable and trust your surgeon, and that they are satisfied with your reasons for the surgery and can trust that you will follow all the steps necessary for your recovery.  Within the consultation you will be asked questions about:

Previous Health & Medical Record

It is important that any previous health problems that you have had are discussed with your surgeon and that you are completely honest about any medications that you might be on.  Surgery does still hold a certain amount of risk, and anything that might lessen this is necessary.

Tummy Tuck Queries

Your surgeon will be able to put your mind at ease about any issues or concerns that you might have.  This will help in your decision making process and allow you to fully understand the nature of the procedure.

Tummy Tuck Procedure

There might be decisions that need to be discussed between you and your surgeon.  One of these is the use of local or general anaesthetic.  Between you decisions can be brought to light and you can decide whether or not surgery is the best option for you. 

Preparing for a Tummy Tuck

All the steps that you need to take before your surgery can be discussed so that you are fully prepared before you go into the clinic.  This might be health and lifestyle or mentally.

Recovery from a Tummy Tuck

The recovery and the steps you need to make to ensure full return to health will be discussed with the surgeon. Further, you will discuss how you intend to recover and what you might need to organise before you have your surgery so that your recovery time is as short, and stress free, as possible.

Long Term Effects of a Tummy Tuck

The surgeon will discuss how the surgery will affect your life and what the lasting effects will be. Also, how the surgery will affect the overall appearance of your body and what the implications for this might be.

Tummy Tuck Risks

You will need to discuss what could potentially go wrong with the abdominoplasty. Although the risks are really low, they still need to be discussed with you. It is important you voice all of your concerns and are completely honest about your past medical history and your reasons for having the surgery.  Your surgeon will need to know these things in order to ensure your safety.  The most important thing is to be honest and realistic in your expectations of a tummy tuck.  It might not be possible to get a dramatic effect and your surgeon will guide you on what to expect from an abdominoplasty.
