Healing from a tummy tuck
New moms are reluctant to hear that their stomachs should be back to normal in about six months or so. There hopes are up high and generally around the third month they begin to think to themselves am I really going to go back to normal this feels normal. The truth about it is that most women who will regain their original shape after giving birth will do so soon after in about three or so months. After having a child it is very difficult to have one’s body return to the before baby shape or a different shape at all. One must get on a diet and commit to exercise and even then most women find that they still have unwanted stretch marks and a saggy abdomen. A saggy abdomen may cause one to bundle up even during the summer. The only way to rid of a saggy abdomen is by having a Los Angeles tummy tuck.
Tummy tuck surgery is extensive surgery but patients often find that the surgery is well worth the result. During the tummy tuck Los Angeles procedure the surgeon will make one incision from hip to hip and the remove the excess skin and fat. He will then cut out the belly button and completely separate the tissue from the wall and then replace the belly button in a new position so that the stomach looks natural.
Tummy tuck surgery is often second guessed because it is such an extreme procedure. One should expect to be very sore and have a considerable amount of down time. Most patients do not return to work or a normal schedule for about two to three weeks after surgery. Depending on how the surgery went or how extensive the procedure was the patient may or may not have to stay in the hospital overnight. Immediately after Tummy tuck Beverly Hills surgery patients will experience swelling in the abdomen area for several days. He or she will also experience pain in which the surgeon will prescribe narcotics for the first few days and then other medication for the rest of the period.
After enough healing time has passed surgeons suggest that one exercises. Taking slow walks around the room or home one is staying in is enough to help prevent blood clots. After about a month of healing one should be moving with more ease, and about 2 months later he or she should be able to engage in any activity or exercise. By this time patients should see great results from their Beverly Hills tummy tuck but will not be fully healed for about six months.
