I think a cost-effective and very sdafe way to eliminate dead-space between tummy tuck flap and underlying muscle/fascia layer is to use progressive tension sutures. The use of tissue adhesive on such a broad surface area prone to flexion and torsional forces does not make sense to me.

Good question. The best way to approach plastic surgery (abdominoplasty) is to get your body ready by reaching your ideal body weight. You should begin an approach to lose weight by dieting and exercise. At the point where you are ready then consider a full abdominoplasty.

Thank you for your question. It would be recommended to stop drinking 1-2 weeks before surgery, however, it is best to confirm with your surgeon as they may have more specific pre-operative guidelines for you. Good luck with your surgical journey!

 As part of and abdominoplasty the umbilicus is refashion. I don't think it's prudent to go through this substantial operation solely for this purpose. And umbilical plastic could be performed to change the appearance of the umbilicus but make certain you understand the trade-offs.

Can a Tummy Tuck actually cause a hiatal hernia?

A tummy tuck cannot cause a hiatal hernia, but if one is present and your muscle was tightened, it can worsen your symptoms because there is more pressure pushing against the hiatal hernia. There are no non-surgical ways to repair a hiatal hernia if medication doesn't control your symptoms.

Thanks for your inquiry.  I would visit your surgeon to get steroids injected into your scar and start silicone sheeting.  Good Luck.
