I Just Had Got a Tummy Tuck Yesterday, I'm Very Sore but Today I'm Starving. What Can I Eat?

What should I eat and being that I got a tummy tuck can I eat whatever I want???
A: What to eat after tummy tuck

The day after tummy tuck you might be hungry, but your system may still have some of the effect of anesthesia, and effect of narcotic medications. We suggest starting slow, and low fat is best to avoid nausea. Drink lot of liquids the first few days. If you pace your return to food carefully you will not have regrets.

What Helps a Tummy Tuck Scar Result- Stitches on the Outer Layer or Glue?

I am going to have a tummy tuck and I know their will be a scar I was just wondering...as far as the best results when it comes to the outcome of your scar which is better for the outer layer of skin stitches or glue?
A: Stitches or glue for tummy tuck

There are studies which show in a tension free wound closure glue is as effective as sutures in skin repair. Surgeons most often place the tension of a wound closure on layers deeper than the skin surface to avoid scar spread. The skin can then be sealed with a subcuticular (hidden) suture and covered with a suture tape, or can be glued. Some even use a subcuticular suture and glue instead of suture strips. All can give an excellent result.

Can I Still Get Surgery on my Belly Button if I Plan on Having More Kids?

I had my first baby 7 months ago. During pregnancy, my OB said I had a possible hernia and to keep an eye on my belly button. Now that I've lost all my baby weight, and have been working out,my stomach is getting flatter and flatter, but my belly button is officially a big outtie belly button. It feels extremely strange when I press on it, like little grains or pebbles underneath the skin and its uncomfortable. There is no way I can wait another 5 years to get surgery, can I get it done now????
A: Umbilical hernia after pregnancy

Umbilical hernias are fairly common with pregnancy and it is worth waiting for them to resolve on their own. If the hernia persists it can be repaired, and you might want to before your next pregnancy. No reason to wait as long as five years.
