Diet and Exercise vs. Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty is not a surgery that is contraindicated, on the contrary, it is a complement to diet and exercise, but it is highly recommended for people who have lost a lot of weight which has also caused the loss of elasticity in the skin.

Diet after an Abdominoplasty

Balanced nutrition will always be important even when there is no aesthetic surgery before or after a diet, it is highly recommended that the body is well nourished, immunized and hydrated as it will help reduce the formation of bruises after cosmetic surgery. It is advisable to plan a diet after the intervention, here is specified a type of diet that is used after a tummy tuck:

  • High fiber diet: The fiber will help the intestinal transit and avoid constipation that can be very annoying during a postoperative period.
  • Moderate intake of meats: It is a protein that helps the restoration of iron and helps healing but, this must be of moderate consumption.
  • Improves iron consumption: Turkey, fish, spinach, Swiss chard, lentils and whole grains help to produce red blood cells and restore color the good color of the skin with its contribution of high amounts of iron.
  • Vitamin C: It is a key nutrient during a postoperative period because it helps in the development and maintenance of scar tissue, cartilage and blood vessels. Orange, tangerine, grapefruit, strawberries or kiwi are fruits rich in vitamin C that help eliminate toxins and fight bacteria.
  • Eat several times a day: It is natural that after a tummy tuck, the patient wants to consume food but with a balanced diet, you can eat light portions and several times during the day.

I am so impressed with this doctors work and his bedside manner. I am currently 10 days post op and I am feeling better each day. I have seen my doctor so many times after my surgery and the fact that he has taken the time to see and ask how I am feeling and progressing is so important to me. His work is amazing I am so happy with my results so far. I had gotten a mini tummy tuck, full back and arm lipo, no fat was added to my behind however it was contoured and lifted a little more. He is very honest and will provide you with all the information you need. I will recommend him to anyone who wants to get plastic surgery of any kind. You will not regret. I am so happy with his staff as well. I love getting the massages at the office with my girl. His team is very nice. I will be coming back for my breasts. Lol I’m not fully recovered already planning my second round with him. Thank you Dr. Ulerio. I’m so happy.
