Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is an example of a stretch mark removal surgery. Although it has become a procedure readily available for almost everyone, some physicians still argue that it is not the best solution for your stretch marks. There are many reasons behind this argument; therefore, it would be wise to learn about them and also everything else about the procedure before undergoing a treatment as serious as this.
Finding The Right Surgeon The first important step before going under the knife is to make sure that the right hands are holding the instrument. Meaning, you have to find a surgeon you can trust. Obviously, the surgeon you end up selecting has to have five years of surgical training with a minimum of two years in plastic surgery. He or she should be trained and experienced in all plastic surgery procedures and should only operate in accredited medical facilities. The surgeon should also strictly follow code of ethics, and standards in patient safety. Most importantly, the physician that you choose should be certified by the board of plastic surgeons in your country and area.
How To Prepare For Surgery Now that you have found the right surgeon to do the stretch mark removal surgery, the second step is to consult with your doctor in order to discuss your expectations and desired outcome. During the consultation, the surgeon will also take the opportunity to evaluate your general health status because having heart or digestive or vascular system problems can hinder your being able to undergo tummy tuck. Right before surgery, you may be asked to take certain medications to aid in the procedure, as well as avoid taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs that can increase bleeding. At this time, your doctor should have already explained to you the possible risks and costs involved.
Possible Risks and Costs Here is a list of the possible risks followed by the costs you may have to experience once you decide to undergo this treatment.
- Ugly scarring
- Infection
- Poor wound healing
- Bleeding
- Anesthesia risks
- Persistent pain
- Possibility of nerve damage
- Blood clots
- Surgeon's fee
- Anesthesia fees
- Hospital costs
- Prescriptions and Medications
If you have decided that the benefits outweighs the potential complications and costs, then the third step would include the plastic surgeon or staff asking you to sign consent forms to ensure that you have fully understood the procedure that you will undergo and any possible complications.
