Tummy Tuck or Panniculectomy To Improve Body Contour After Massive Weight Lost
A medical procedure called Tummy tuck philippines is recommended for patients with excess or redundant abdominal skin and/or laxity of the abdominal muscles. This is usually seen among women who had undergone multiple pregnancies, or patients with massive weight loss after bariatric surgery. To be a good candidate for this procedure, patients must be physically healthy with a stable weight, have realistic expectations, don’t smoke, and don’t have any uncontrolled medical illness. The procedure cannot correct stretch marks, although these may be removed or somewhat improved if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised, or generally at those treated areas below the belly button.
Individuals planning to undergo abdominoplasty in the philippines are prepared prior to scheduled surgery. Two to three weeks before the procedure, patients are advised to avoid smoking; alcoholic beverages; steroids; NSAID’s, or pain medications like mefenamic acid and naproxen; herbal tea and herbal medications; vitamin E; blood-thinning medications like aspirin, heparin, and coumadin; regulated drugs like Valium; prohibited drugs like methamphetamines; diet pills; and oral contraceptive pills. These medications and social activities may delay healing, prolong bleeding during surgery, and may interact with the medications used during the procedure. Patients are advised to discuss this further with their surgeon to minimize possible risks and complications.
