Tummy tuck, clinically called abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure aimed at reducing excess skin and fat from the abdominal area to achieve a tighter and firmer abdomen.
The procedure should be performed by an experienced surgeon with a successful track record. During the initial consultation, the surgeon will educate the patient about all aspects of tummy tuck.
Some surgeons may like to present tummy tuck before and after photographs at the time of the first appointment. It can help in explaining to the patient in a better way about the potential effectiveness of tummy tuck and allow them to make the right decision. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Amir Nasir provides tummy tuck to patients in New Haven, Westport, Fairfield County, Fairfield, Bridgeport, CT, New York, and surrounding communities.
What are Tummy Tuck Before and After Images?
Before and after images in case of tummy tuck plastic surgery procedure refer to a pair or group of photos belonging to an earlier patient who has received the same surgery with successful results. The pictures include images taken prior to the procedure and after the procedure at a time when the post-op swelling and bruising has been resolved and new abdominal contours are established.
The surgeon will take care to obtain these pictures with the patient’s consent and present them before new patients in a discreet way. The patient’s identity may be kept undisclosed as per the standard norm. The surgeon’s sole purpose in this effort is to use these photos as a visual aid to explain to new patients what tummy tuck surgery can or cannot do for them.
Advantages
When a new patient seeking tummy tuck surgery visits the office of a plastic surgeon, they may only have a limited idea about how the procedure may impact their overall upper body appearance and profile. In many cases, the surgeon may recommend a full circumferential tummy tuck, while in a few cases only a partial abdominoplasty may be necessary.
Sometimes it may be required to combine tummy tuck with liposuction or breast lift, or perform it as part of a mommy makeover. In each case, the patient will be in a better position to make the correct decisions when they have access to tummy tuck before and after photos.
Keeping Realistic Expectations
In any aesthetic procedure, it is important that the patient should have a clear idea of what to expect and what not to expect from the results. This is where ‘tummy tuck before and after’ photos can play a key role. Once the patient reviews the photos carefully, it will minimize any chances of confusion in their mind, and allows them to form a clear perspective.
Online Photos
The surgeon has an option to present tummy tuck before and after photos on their practice website but for this particular procedure Dr. Nasir has not done that but you can see the other pictures for liposuction and get a feel for the type of acumen in this domain that he possesses. If a patient calls them and fills out the online form then perhaps these types of pictures could be emailed to a potential patient or these pictures could be seen during the actual consultation.
For wider exposure, they may even choose to disseminate the photos via social media networks. Committed and wonderful cosmetic surgeon Dr. Nasir receives patients from New Haven, Westport, Fairfield County, Fairfield, Bridgeport, CT, New York, and nearby areas for tummy tuck surgery
