Tummy Tuck Surgery
Overall Health Before A Tummy Tuck In Miami
When our clients meet with Dr. Phillip Craft for their initial consultation, he listens to their goals and asks vital questions about their health history and lifestyle. He’ll perform a physical exam and may order laboratory tests to paint a more detailed picture of their medical situation. For patients of all ages, lifestyle factors like alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking are significant and can cause real concern for healing and potential outcomes.
Do Older People Choose Abdominoplasty?
Will Recovery Be Harder For Older Patients?
Generally, those who are in good, general health recover well from a tummy tuck, yet having adequate time off and help at home is essential no matter what. One factor that changes with time is skin elasticity and rate of healing, so it’s possible that if you’re in your 50s or 60s, your incision may close more slowly, and variable results can be expected after liposuction. Your surgeon will discuss realistic expectations and safety measures for your situation to help you get the most from your procedure.
