Preparing for Tummy Tuck Surgery

For preparing for tummy tuck surgery, you may be asked to:

• Get lab testing or a medical evaluation
• Take certain medications or adjust your current medications
• Stop smoking
• Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding

A tummy tuck may be performed in a qualified hospital.

Tummy Tuck is performed on an outpatient, so arrange someone to stay with you for the first night and to drive you somewhere.
