Dallas Plastic Surgery – Q & A

Ask Doctor Meade – How long should I take off work for a Tummy Tuck?

10 days should be fine.

As everything, there’s a spectum of possibilities in the recovery for this surgery. There are many varying techniques in performing a full abdominoplasty that your ABPS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will be familiar with. If you discuss return to work at this deadline, I believe that it will in fact help your recovery since you are so motivated to get out of bed and mover around. A technique of internal suturing can help get your drains out sooner than usual (typically a week).

Even if you go back to work with your drains, depending on what you do at your work, it is achieveable. Your recovery will depend greatly on your anatomy, your stamina, tolerance and the actual operation performed. The plan you’ve made thus far is reasonable.

Ask Doctor Meade – Thermage vs. Tummy Tuck

They’re really totally different options. Thermage can help if there’s a minimal amount of tightening expected, such as lower lids maybe. Sometimes the pre and postop photos on some of the new technologies out there are really difficult to reproduce. If you’ve seen Thermage results on an abdomen, I’d be pretty hesitant to expect much. It just has been really underpowered in those areas.

If your ABPS board certified plastic surgeon has told you that you are a candidate for a tummy tuck, then you should consider that and not thermage. There are different variations in tummy tuck (such as mini tucks or float abdominoplasties) for those that have very little extra skin. Those may be more worth your while to look into with more detail.

Floating Tummy Tuck vs. Umbilical Tummy Tuck

What is a Floating Tummy Tuck?

I’ll continue the conversation further by adding a definition differentiating the two surgeries. The difference between an umbilical float abdominoplasty and a mini tummy tuck is that the minitummy tuck is a smaller incision (just longer than a c-section) and just skin removal usually. The umbilical float is done to release the skin underneath the belly button and muscle tightening followed by fairly minor skin removal.

Your belly button should be slightly high or you need to have a long torso, otherwise your result will be somewhat unaesthetic. It’ll depend on the artistic eye of the board certified plastic surgeon that you go to (this the ultimate US qualification for a plastic surgeon).

Just Had Tummy Tuck This Week – Should I Get a Revision?

You’re still not at your final result. It’s very early and you’ll still notice a lot of edema (swelling) that you won’t be able to see in the next couple of months.

These issues are very normal and its ok for you to discuss them with your ABPS board certified plastic surgeon. He’ll be glad to fix anything for you that should have been achieved at the time of surgery. The scars will become less visible and the redness still has to clear up. Give it time and let everything settle. There’s still plenty of cooling down to go in the process.
