Is Tummy Tuck surgery painful?

Pain is subjective, and may not be accurately predicted between patients.
The psychological state of a patient may affect the perception and tolerance of pain.

Different drugs may be taken to minimise the discomfort or pain, especially associated with major surgery.

Who are the best candidates for an abdominoplasty?

A tummy tuck is suitable for both men and women who are in good general health overall and are at a stable weight. It is best to be a non-smoker.

A tummy tuck should not be confused with a liposuction (the cosmetic surgery used to remove fat deposits), although your surgeon may choose to perform liposuction as part of a tummy tuck.

When should you avoid a Tummy Tuck?

If you’re a woman who is still planning to have children, you may want to postpone a tummy tuck until you’re through bearing children.

Are you still planning to lose a lot of weight? Then you do not want to consider a tummy tuck until your weight has stabilized.

It’s important to note that a tummy tuck causes scarring on the abdomen. This scar is usually long and might be noticeable. If this is something you don’t want, you may want to reconsider.
