Before Surgery

Before you decide whether or not a tummy tuck is right for you, you will need to have a consultation with a surgeon. During the consultation the surgeon will be able to answer any questions you have about the procedure and go through the risks and complications so you are able to make an informed decision. The surgeon should also take a full medical history at this stage to make sure there is nothing that excludes you from undergoing surgery. You will also be given a consent form to sign. Make sure you read this and any associated information you are given very carefully.

If you decide to go ahead with tummy tuck surgery you should inform your GP in case there are any complications at a later date.
