FAQ

Question 1

How long does it take for loose skin to become noticeable after a tummy tuck?

Accepted Answer

It may take several weeks to months for loose skin to become apparent. This varies from person to person.

Question 2

Can exercise help prevent loose skin after a tummy tuck?

Accepted Answer

Although exercise can help firm and strengthen your abdominal muscles, it may not completely prevent loose skin. However, maintaining a stable weight is absolutely essential.

Question 3

Is revision surgery the only option to address loose skin?

Accepted Answer

No, there are non-surgical options like radiofrequency treatments and dermal fillers that can improve loose skin.

Question 4

How long should I wait before considering revision surgery for loose skin?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to wait for at least one year after your initial tummy tuck. This waiting period allows sufficient time for the tissues to settle and heal fully.

Question 5

Can I undergo a tummy tuck if I plan to have children in the future?

Accepted Answer

It is often suggested that you wait until you have finished having children before having a tummy tuck. Pregnancy following a tummy tuck might have an impact on the outcome because the abdominal muscles may split again and the skin may stretch.

Question 6

Will there be visible scars after a tummy tuck?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a scar will appear following a tummy tuck. However, the incision is usually made low on the belly and is readily hidden by panties or swimwear. The scar will disappear over time with proper care and healing.

Question 7

Who is an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck procedure?

Accepted Answer

Individuals with loose or sagging abdominal skin, divided or weakened abdominal muscles, and extra fat deposits that have not reacted favourably to diet and exercise are ideal candidates for a tummy tuck.
