The right preparation for a Abdominoplasty is essential to achieve good results and a retrieval faster. Following the preoperative instructions of a surgeon, such as Dr. Ceballos, and making changes to the daily routine, can reduce complications and improve the overall experience. Every previous step helps ensure a safe and effective procedure.
In addition to the physical aspects, it is important that the person has realistic expectations and is psychologically prepared for the changes involved in this surgery. This approach allows us to face the process with greater confidence and peace of mind.
It all starts with a thorough consultation where Dr. Ceballos assesses general health, reviews the medical history and examines the abdomen to determine the viability of the procedure.
In this phase, it is vital to report a history of previous surgeries, medications, chronic diseases and allergies. The patient can expect specific questions related to weight, exercise habits and smoking, as it seeks to identify risk factors.
During this consultation, Dr. Ceballos explains the scope of the intervention, discusses possible outcomes, and details realistic expectations. It also provides guidance on recovery time and possible postoperative limitations, allowing an informed decision to be made.
Before surgery, it is essential to meet certain medical requirements to ensure safety during surgery. Usually, blood tests, an electrocardiogram and, in some cases, additional studies are requested depending on age or particular conditions.
Recommendations usually include maintaining a stable and healthy weight and stopping smoking at least one month before surgery. Smoking significantly increases the risk of healing complications.
It is advisable to avoid anticoagulant medications and supplements that may affect coagulation, always following medical advice.
Choosing the right plastic surgeon is one of the most important decisions you'll make on your way to a safe and satisfying transformation. Beyond credentials and certifications—which of course are essential—, it's also vital that you find a professional who matches technical experience with a human and close approach.

Recovery requires prior preparation at home to ensure rest, comfort and avoid unnecessary effort. It is advisable to have, at least the first week, the help of family or friends to assist with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning or getting around.
Preparing comfortable clothing, recommended medical supplies (such as post-surgical girdles), and adapting the rest space in advance facilitates the post-operative process. It's also essential to arrange for round-trip transportation on the day of surgery.
It is useful to establish direct communication with the medical team to answer questions and report any atypical symptoms during recovery. These measures contribute to a favorable outcome and to minimizing risks after the intervention.
The success of a tummy tuck largely depends on adequate preparation in the days leading up to surgery. Following specific guidelines about diet, medications, the environment and aspects of well-being generates better results and helps to minimize risks.
It is essential to avoid foods and drinks that may interfere with anesthesia or increase the risk of bleeding. You should fast for at least eight hours before the procedure, abstaining from any solid food and unclear liquids.
You should also inform Dr. Ceballos about all medications and supplements you consume. The doctor may recommend temporarily discontinuing drugs such as anticoagulants, anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin and multivitamins, as they may increase bleeding.
It's also common to be asked to avoid alcohol and tobacco two weeks before surgery, as these substances can affect healing and results.
Keeping the skin clean and in good condition in the days leading up to surgery is key to preventing infections. It is advisable to shower with antiseptic soap the night before and the morning of surgery, avoiding creams, lotions or makeup on the abdomen on the day of the operation.
Invasive aesthetic procedures, such as waxing or tanning, should not be performed on the abdominal area the week before. Sleeping well, staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet in the previous days promotes a better immune response and optimizes healing.
Abdominoplasty requires both physical and mental preparation. Identifying emotions and learning the real limits of the procedure contribute to a better recovery experience and satisfaction with the results.
It's normal to experience anxiety before cosmetic surgery. Many patients have concerns about pain, recovery, and potential outcomes. It's critical to talk openly with your medical team about these fears.
Psychological evaluation can be useful to detect unrealistic expectations and guide emotional well-being during the process.
Some practical recommendations for preparing the mind include:
Adequate emotional preparation reduces stress and facilitates the recovery process.
It's important to talk to Dr. Ceballos about the expected changes and the healing process. It is recommended to review images from previous cases and ask about long-term results. According to medical criteria, expectations must be realistic and aligned with your particular case.
Accepting these realities helps prevent disappointment and promotes a better adaptation to the results obtained.
The success of a tummy tuck depends largely on physical preparation, appropriate medical information, control of expectations and knowledge of costs and risks. Knowing the steps to follow before and after the intervention allows you to minimize complications and overcome the most difficult moments of the process.
It is recommended to perform low-impact exercises that strengthen the core area, such as walking, swimming, or gentle abdominal routines under medical supervision. Core strengthening exercises help improve muscle tone and circulation. Excessive strenuous activity should be avoided so as not to increase the risk of injury before surgery.
A light dinner and no eating or drinking at least 8 hours before the operation is recommended. It is important to bathe following the surgeon's specific instructions and to prepare comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for the next day. Organizing documentation and confirming the time of admission is also essential.
The first two or three days are usually the most complicated due to pain and swelling. You may experience limited mobility and difficulty getting on board. Adequate pain management and compliance with medical indications facilitate recovery during this early stage.
People with serious heart problems, poorly controlled diabetes, significant obesity, or emotional instability may not be eligible for surgery. Those who cannot stop smoking or stop certain medications before the procedure are also ruled out. It is necessary to comply with previous medical tests and evaluations.
