Breast Augmentation and Liposuction Blog - Dr. Bottger

Patients choose to have a tummy tuck for a couple of reasons. While men and women alike end up with excess sagging skin after losing weight, some women experience sagging abdominal skin after pregnancy. Those who have already lost enough weight to develop this problem will appreciate the need for lifestyle changes after having a tummy tuck. Fortunately, having lost so much weight, they have already made the most significant changes before their surgery.

Other lifestyle changes that contribute to good tummy tuck outcomes include quitting smoking and reducing, if not eliminating, alcohol consumption. Good skin care, healthy diet and plenty of balanced exercise will maintain the benefits of tummy tuck surgery. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin and tissues well hydrated, elastic, and strong.

As a patient of Dr. David Bottger you will receive his help in developing a personalized care plan that will ensure the best healing results as well as long-term maintenance of your new physique. You need only adhere to the plan to see maximum results from your surgery.

If you, like so many others have decided that it’s finally time to get rid of sagging tummy tissue please contact cosmetic surgeon, David Bottger, M.D. for a personalized tummy tuck consult at one of his Philadelphia, Bryn Mawr, West Chester Newtown Square offices.
