What to Expect at Your Tummy Tuck Consultation

January 31, 2019 by Koehler Editor

Male doctor and female patient talking at consultation.Get the most out of your abdominoplasty consultation by knowing what to expect and preparing a list of questions to ask your cosmetic surgeon before your tummy tuck.

Discuss Your Goals

Your consultation is the first opportunity for you to discuss your goals in detail with your cosmetic surgeon and figure out if this procedure could be right for you. Be as open and honest as you can about what you’re hoping to get out of cosmetic surgery so that your cosmetic surgeon can work with you to develop a surgical plan that will meet your needs.

Look at before and after photos of people with similar body types to yours to help you explain your goals.

Get an Evaluation

During your tummy tuck consultation, your cosmetic surgeon should also provide a health examination to ensure that you’re in good physical health and can safely move forward with your procedure, should you choose to do so. He or she should also use this time to determine if a tummy tuck is the most appropriate procedure to help you reach your goals.

For example, if you want to address both loose skin and stubborn fat in your abdominal area, your cosmetic surgeon will likely recommend adding liposuction to your tummy tuck.

Ask the Right Questions

Use this time to ask any questions that you might have about your procedure. Jot them down beforehand so you don’t forget. Just a few important questions that should be on your list are:

  • How many tummy tucks have you performed?
  • Am I a good candidate for abdominoplasty?
  • Do you recommend adding liposuction?
  • What risks are involved?
  • How can I prepare for an abdominoplasty to get the best results?
  • How can I make the most of my tummy tuck recovery?
