  • Plastic Surgery In the old days of surgery patients were told to stay in bed, even for days after surgery. Not any more! We now know that people who act sick after surgery (i.e. stay in bed and pamper themselves excessively) get sick after surgery. While we certainly don’t want anyone over-doing it after a delicate procedure, it is important to be up and moving even on the very day of surgery if possible.

    Really, I’m only talking about a basic level of activity necessary to move around the house a bit and take care of your basic food & hygiene needs. But even this will help greatly to keep fluid off the lungs, lower the risk of blood clots, and speed your recovery along as it should.

  • Tummy Tuck You may be the best candidate for a tummy tuck if you have lost a significant amount of weight recently but are still not pleased with your new body shape.Whether your weight loss plan was based on diet or exercise, or both, you may still be plagued with loose or sagging skin or pockets of fat which just didn’t disappear.

    Especially if you were overweight for many years or are more mature you may find that your skin elasticity has diminished somewhat, and no amount of exercise or massage will give it the firmness you desire.

    This would be the ideal time to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to see what procedures are available.One procedure used to remove excess skin and also to tighten the abdominal muscles beneath is abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck.Also ask about a mini-tummy tuck, liposuction, lower body lift, and upper arm lift, all procedure than can help you obtain the body contour to match your new slimmer look.
