TUMMY TUCK in TORONTO - RECOVERY

Everyone wants to stay fit and sexy. However, if you tend to have a fatty diet or if you fail to exercise regularly, you might notice some excess belly fat accumulating around your abdomen. Many men and women seek Dr Carman’s advice on possible cosmetic surgical solutions because they feel self conscious about their figures. Having tummy tuck surgery is often an appropriate solution for people who wish to remove excess fat and skin from the abdominal area.

Tummy Tuck Healing Process

A very important consideration for your tummy tuck surgery is the recovery and healing process. Because a tummy tuck is a complex procedure you should carefully consider your choice of doctor and surgical/recovery facility. To ensure your utmost safety and comfort, Dr Carman keeps all tummy tuck patients overnight in his accredited private facility where a qualified plastic surgery nurse keeps a close eye on each patient and ensures that they are properly cared for during the first night after surgery. Dr Carman personally checks on every tummy tuck patient in the morning following tummy tuck surgery to answer questions and to review post operative instructions.

Any pain and discomfort for the first few days is managed by medication as prescribed by Dr Carman following your tummy tuck surgery. Appropriate care during the first hours following tummy tuck surgery can make a big difference in your recovery. Dr Carman’s nurses are specifically trained and experienced with cosmetic surgery procedures such as a tummy tuck and are always ready to attend to your needs during the first crucial hours following the tummy tuck procedure.

When you are at home recovering, the immediate need is to rest and avoid straining the incision. Gradually, you will begin to increase your level of activity according to your own comfort level. Slowly increasing the level of activity will make your recovery smoother. Strenuous activity, however, is inadvisable because this may adversely affect the healing process particularly during the first six weeks of your surgery.

In a short time, your recovery will be complete and everything will be back to normal. The majority of Dr Carman’s Toronto tummy tuck patients indicate an improved sense of self confidence and pleasure after their tummy tuck surgery. Beach vacations and bikinis are very common after tummy tuck surgery!
