"Tummy Tuck" is not one operation

Hello,

Tummy tuck surgery varies by type and extent. Some surgeons do not routinely include muscular repair or extensive skin removal as part of the operation. Some patients do not benefit by the same extent of surgery as others.You might want to have a sit down with your surgeon to ask this question and to find out exactly whay he or she did at surgery.

It is of course better to have an understanding before surgery of what the goals are and what realistically is to be accomplished. You can't fix everything in some tummy tuck procedures, but it is best to know this going in.

Best Regards,

John Di Saia MD

To be able to judge this accurately and fairly a pre and post op pictures will be required.I would say check with your plastic surgeon on this matter. There is tightness after a tummy tuck but the perception of this is similar to preceiving pain which will depend on your pain threshold.
