Am I the Ideal Tummy Tuck Candidate?

You’re likely to be a great candidate for a tummy tuck if you’ve been dealing with frustrating abdominal fat and excess skin, and have noticed that it simply won’t go away despite your best efforts at maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

It’s important to note, however, that this is not a weight loss solution. Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck will actually be at or near their target weight and should intend to maintain that weight for as long as possible. Rather than thinking of a tummy tuck as a weight loss procedure, consider it as the perfect way to truly bring your body across the finish line. Plenty of patients find that, even as they approach their target weight, excess skin or fat can still impact the appearance of their stomach and abdomen. The tummy tuck creates a tight, toned look.

Before & After Tummy Tuck

Your Tummy Tuck Surgery with the Silicon Valley Institute for Aesthetics

Before the day of your procedure, you’ll sit down with your surgeon for an in-depth consultation. Your practitioner will take this opportunity to answer any questions you might have, and will help you to understand everything you need to know about your procedure.

You’ll get detailed preparation instructions, including when to avoid eating and drinking, in addition to very specific aftercare directions. We’ll also be sure to schedule follow-up appointments with you to monitor your healing progress after the surgery.

A tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes between two and four hours to complete, depending on the specifics of your treatment plan. After a brief stay in our recovery area, you’ll be able to return home with the help of a friend to drive you.

Recovery After a Tummy Tuck

You’ll experience a fair amount of swelling and discomfort immediately after your surgery, which is quite normal. You’ll be given everything you need to stay comfortable in the days following your procedure. It will likely take between three to four months before you’re able to return to your full and normal daily routine, including exercise and other vigorous activities. You can, however, begin to move around within one to three weeks.

Experience the RNR® You Deserve

Getting back to normal after a tummy tuck can take time and frequently involves a fair amount of discomfort. At the Silicon Valley Institute for Aesthetics, we’ve pioneered an approach that foregoes the need for narcotics pain medications, thanks to our signature RNR® Procedures. We make every effort to ensure you’re up and moving around almost immediately after your surgery. When paired with our Drainless Tummy Tuck method, you get the RNR® you deserve, and recovery will be a breeze.

A drainless tummy tuck uses a specific layered suturing technique to eliminate the need for post-surgical drains, so the recovery process is generally much less complicated. You won’t need to measure fluid output or empty a drain while you recover, reducing the time before returning to your regular activities.

We’ll use traditional anesthesia alongside an epidural injection and sedation during an RNR® Tummy Tuck procedure. You’ll be breathing independently but won’t feel any pain due to a long-acting local injection that keeps you comfortable.

As we prepare for your operation, we’ll use a specially formulated cocktail of medications to optimize pain control and avoid severe nausea once your tummy tuck is complete.
