Minimizing your Chances of Having Tummy Tuck Side Effects

To minimize your chances of developing complications, it is important for you to be in good health, and follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. If you are not feeling well on the day of your surgery, postpone it for another day. Give your doctor a detailed health history, including all medicines and supplements you are taking. Your doctor must know if you drink alcohol or smoke regularly. You must quit smoking two weeks prior to surgery and not start back up until after two weeks of healing. Also, it is important to eat a healthy diet and avoid too much sun exposure before the day of surgery.
