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: Eating after tummy tuck surgery Eat and drink conservatively to avoid nausea from the anesthesia. Start with clear liquids, such as soup, or bread. Stay away from dairy products, greasy or fried foods, etc. for a few days. Just basic common sense. Also, eat moderately before taking the pain medication so it won't nauseate you.

Thoughts About Having Cosmetic Surgery (Face Lift) at a Residency Program?

Thoughts About Having Cosmetic Surgery (Face Lift) at a Residency Program?

A: Facelift in a residency program We all got our start as plastic surgeons performing procedures in the clinic. That said, the programs are no longer giving it away for free and you have to weigh the reduced costs against having an inexperienced surgeon, although under supervision. I see many patients who have gone this route and are then disturbed or surprised when the doctor who has operated on them is no longer accessible--because he or she has moved away to go into private practice.

A: Two procedures one week apart Putting aside the issue of whether you are a candidate for either surgery, most board certified anesthesiologists will not participate in cosmetic procedures one week apart. The minimum time between procedures, to avoid anesthesia complications, is 4 weeks and, when a tummy tuck is involved, I would prefer a 6 week interval.
