I am considering getting a tummy tuck and doing hyperbaric therapy. Do you do the treatment before surgery and continue doing them a few times right after surgery and how many sessions should a person do? I know it’s not mandatory to do them but I have read doing them have great benefits so I want the extra benefit if it helps. Thanks in advance

Hello, a CT scan would help with determining if there is muscle diastasis/separation, although from the photographs it seems that your result is very good. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.
