Understanding the Tummy Tuck Procedure

The process begins with careful preparation, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout. For a full tummy tuck, a horizontally oriented incision is made between the pubic hairline and the belly button. If needed, an additional incision around the navel helps address excess skin in the upper abdomen. Advanced techniques such as sutures, skin adhesives, and tapes ensure precise closure for optimal healing.

The result? A flatter, firmer abdominal contour that aligns with your body type and weight, giving you the confidence to embrace your figure fully.

Is a Tummy Tuck Right for You?

It’s important to note that a tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss or regular exercise. If you’re planning significant weight loss or future pregnancies, postponing your procedure may be the wisest choice. By doing so, you’ll ensure the best long-term results.

Dr. Luis Suarez takes pride in offering personalized consultations to help determine the best approach for your individual goals. His patients benefit from a deep understanding of the procedure, ensuring realistic expectations and results that exceed them.

Recovery: Caring for Your New Contours

Recovering from a tummy tuck requires careful attention, but the journey is straightforward with proper guidance. Here are some of the essentials:

1. Diet: For at least five days post-surgery, maintain a low-fat diet and avoid grains (like beans, rice, and lentils) that may cause abdominal distention.
2. Mobility: Rest is crucial. When walking, maintain a slightly bent posture (approximately 75 degrees) to minimize tension on your abdomen. Sleep with pillows supporting your back and knees or in a crouched side position to promote healing.
3. Posture and Activity: Avoid lifting heavy objects or raising your arms above shoulder level for six weeks. This reduces strain on your incisions and scar.
4. Compression Garments: Wear a griddle and bra daily for 4-6 weeks. This not only minimizes swelling but also prevents complications such as seromas and hematomas.
5. Drain Management: Dr. Suarez’s team provides a detailed drainage control system to monitor fluid output. Emptying and tracking the four drains twice daily ensures a smooth recovery process, with clear guidelines on when drains can be safely removed.

By following these recovery steps, you’ll achieve the best possible results from your tummy tuck in Mexico.
