Every presurgery plan is unique. Dr. Ayewah may provide personalized preparation tips to help you prepare for surgery.
A tummy tuck includes three main steps:
Dr. Ayewah may administer intravenous (IV) sedation or general anesthesia based on your needs and preferences. Anesthesia improves your comfort and keeps you unconscious through the procedure.
Next, Dr. Ayewah creates horizontal incisions along your pubic area and belly button to remove excess skin and reposition the remaining tissue for a flatter, smoother appearance. She may make more incisions in the upper abdomen if there’s additional excess skin.
Finally, Dr. Ayewah closes the incisions with sutures to begin the healing process. She applies bandages and compression material to ensure proper healing.
Most swelling and bruising subsides within the first few weeks after tummy tuck surgery, but it can take up to six months to heal fully.
