Getting rid of excess skin feels like the real deal. However, what must you eat before and after a successful tummy tuck surgery? Read on further to find out. 

An abdominoplasty is a surgery whose intention is to remove any unwanted or loose skin from your abdominal area. Therefore, your plastic surgeon should review this surgery in detail, but still, you should have a glimpse of what it is to expect before and after the surgical procedure. Knowing what you should do, including what to eat during a tummy tuck recovery process, is essential. 

What is the difference between tummy tuck surgery and liposuction?

While both are body contouring procedures intended to eliminate excess fat or loose skin from your body, they are not the same. You also must note that these two do not do weight loss procedures. A tummy tuck surgery moves excess fat on your abdominal area. At the same time, liposuction in Dubai is a body contouring process whose focus is on removing excess fat from specific parts of your body. 

Whether minor or significant, surgery can take a complete toll on your body. Every surgery comes with its share of risks, and that is why plastic surgeons on adequate preparation both mentally and physically before going to the operation table. 

What is your recommended diet before a tummy tuck surgery?

How well you prepare yourself before an abdominoplasty procedure determines how successful the surgery will be. The most extraordinary influence preparation has on your surgery is its success and how much time it will take for you to recover.

Constantly hydrate yourself

Keeping your hydration at an optimal rate allows your body to function efficiently. You need to begin the process of hydration a few days before getting the abdominoplasty. The hydration process should continue at least a week after you are done with the surgical procedure. Proper hydration makes the surgical process seamless, lowering risks and giving you a high-definition liposuction result. 

Increase your protein intake

Proteins play a crucial role in your body when speeding the time your wound will heal. Ensure there is more than enough protein intake while you prepare for your tummy tuck and after the procedure to speed up the process of recovery. 

Eliminate inflammatory foods from your diet

One thing the plastic surgeon will advise you before conducting an abdominoplasty is to remove all inflammatory foods from your diet. 

The main reason behind this is to help with your healing process and proper scar formation after the surgery. You will also notice that most stretch marks accumulated around your abdominal area disappear after a successful surgery. 

While these are just a few ways to incorporate a healthy diet before getting the tummy tuck surgery, it is not the end. One of the best plastic surgeons in Dubai, Dr. Tarek Bayazid, insists on a proper diet plan after the surgery. 

He also insists that having the abdominoplasty does not mean making it a substitute for a healthy diet. You must want to keep your body in good shape by taking the right foods. Here is what eating healthier after a tummy tuck means.

  • Eat a balanced diet. That is, ensure that everything you consume is highly effective. For example, ensure that your meals include quality carbohydrates, fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. 
  • Eat foods rich in omega-3, such as olive oils, soybeans, and salmon. 
  • Eat the only quantity of calories recommended by your plastic surgeon. 
  • Eat high-protein foods such as fish, poultry, and lean meat. 

In many cases, you will notice that the same diet you incorporate before the surgery continues for some time after the surgery to facilitate faster healing and better results.
