Will I Be Naked During my Tummy Tuck? Can I Wear Socks?

Yes, even though everything except the tummy will be covered with surgical drapes, you will be nude during the actual procedure.  (You can wear socks, though.)

You'll also have SCD/stockings on, and a warming blanket.

 

All the best!

Thank you for your question.

When you arrive at the surgery center, you will be asked to remove all of your clothing and you will be given a surgical gown to wear along with socks  to keep you warm.  You will be given a heating blanket to keep you warm before the procedure.

We recommend to patients that they should wear something easily slipped on and off for after surgery, including slip on shoes so that they don't have to bend over or tie their shoes.

I hope this helps.

LOL!! Cute question.

Yes, you will be nude for surgery. However, best surgical practices will make special steps to keep any exposed part of your body to a minimum. This is not only for privacy but also to keep you warm. Keeping you warm helps to reduce nausea and improves recovery. There are special heating blankets that I use routinely. Check with your surgeon regarding the facility you will go to. Usually the facility will supply you with special non-slip socks. So you don't have to worry about bringing your own. You will not be wearing any underwear. I advise wearing loose fitting sweats which are easy to get on and off. Good luck.
