Keto diet and healing process for tummy tuck? I keep hearing that adequate amounts of protein are necessary for healing?

Thank you for the question. It is essential for good nutrition prior to any procedure for healing. It is best to discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

For surgery, you need a balanced diet of protein, fats, and carbohydrates to be sure to get adequate nutrition. If you focus on fruits, vegetables, and protein, you should do well.
