Abdominoplasty
In abdominoplasty, the surgeon removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen to have a flat, lean abdomen.
Consider the following during the consultation:
Treatment conditions, drug allergies and previous medical treatments
Current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs
Previous surgeries
Your surgeon also:

Takes a photo
Talks about the possible consequences of abdominal surgery and any possible risks or complications
The success and safety of your tummy tuck depends greatly on your thoroughness during the consultation. You will be asked questions about your health and desires.
Counseling is when you can ask your plastic surgeon questions. It is very important to understand all aspects of abdominal surgery. It is natural to feel a little anxious, whether you are excited about the new look or a little pre-operative stress. Do not be embarrassed to talk about these feelings with your plastic surgeon.
