Out of Town Tummy Tuck: How Many Follow-up Appointments?

User Avatar

I am considering getting a Tummy Tuck this year from a doctor that is located 2.5 hours away. My question is how many follow-up appointments are necessary after a tummy tuck, and at what frequency? Is it possible to consult over video chat like skype? How do you handle out of town patients?
