My surgery is in 15weeks. Is there anything I can do like using bio oil or avoiding tanning this summer that will help me get the best results?
Answer: Skin preparation for tummy tuck? Thank you for your question. I appreciate your ongoing willingness to help prepare for surgery and get the best results. But, kinda like the ab exercise question, there is nothing magic to do for the skin prior to surgery. Continue exercise and a healthy diet. Avoiding sun damage is always a good idea. And some type of moisturizer on the skin regularly is helpful. I think you are going to do just fine.Best of luck!

Answer: Skin preparation Body and breast procedures require no particular long term skin preparation except to eat a healthy diet and avoid sun exposure / sun burn. Immediately prior to surgery, it is reasonable to shower with Hibiclens soap which has been shown to lower incidence of infections. Each surgeon has his or her own protocol and thoughts on the matter.

Answer: Skin prep for TT Dear Mamafirst Avoiding tanning is always a good idea. Along with that, maintaining your current weight with a healthy diet and regular use of a good moisturizer; something with Vit E & aloe vera, would be adequate for skin prep prior to your surgery. Good luck with your procedure. hope this helps James Sheridan, MD Austin, TX
