As a patient living in the United States, I was on the hunt for a reputable plastic surgeon to perform a tummy tuck surgery. After hours of research on the internet, I stumbled upon Spain as the best place for this procedure. I was intrigued and decided to reach out to various plastic surgeons in Spain to gather more information.
I contacted several surgeons and scheduled video consultations with them. During these consultations, I asked a series of questions related to the tummy tuck surgery including the duration of the surgery, recovery period, and before and after photos. I was also interested in seeing videos of the procedure being performed.
To my surprise, the plastic surgeons in Spain were extremely knowledgeable and provided me with detailed answers to all of my questions. They also provided me with a wealth of information about their experience, qualifications, and the facilities where the surgery would be performed.
Additionally, the plastic surgeons in Spain were able to provide me with a more accurate estimate of the cost of the surgery and the recovery period, which was a significant factor in my decision-making process. I felt confident in my choice of surgeon and decided to proceed with the surgery in Spain.
I finally decided to book my flights to Spain for my tummy tuck surgery. I had heard so many great things about the plastic surgeons in Spain and their state-of-the-art technology, so I knew I had to give it a try.
Upon landing in Spain, I was greeted by a representative from the hospital who arranged for my pick-up from the airport. They also helped me find accommodation that fit within my budget. The next day, I had my in-person consultation at the tummy tuck surgery clinic.
The plastic surgeon explained to me how the tummy tuck surgery is done and what technology is used in Spain. They also discussed the different options for anesthesia, such as local or general, and how it would be done. I was impressed by their level of knowledge and expertise.
The surgeon also explained the recovery period and what to expect after the surgery. They even showed me before and after pictures of previous patients to give me an idea of what my results could look like.
The next day, I had my pre-operative consultation.
Before the surgery:
“The doctor explained to me that before the surgery, I would need to have a consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss my goals for the surgery, as well as my medical history and any potential risks or complications. They mentioned that I would need to get medical clearance from my primary care physician or any specialists I may see, if needed. They also advised me to refrain from smoking and drinking during the weeks preceding the procedure, as well as to stop taking some medications, such as blood thinners.
They even mentioned that I should arrange for transportation and recovery support, as the procedure would be done under general anesthesia and I would need help during the first few days after surgery.”
During the surgery:
“The doctor explained to me that during the surgery, they would administer general anesthesia to make sure I am comfortable and don’t feel any pain. They would then make an incision along the lower part of my abdomen, just above my pubic area. They would then tighten my abdominal muscles and remove any excess skin and fat. If necessary, they would also reposition my belly button. Lastly, they would close the incision using sutures or staples.”
After the surgery:
“The doctor explained to me that after the surgery, I will need to take medication to manage any pain and discomfort. They also mentioned that I will need to wear a compression garment to help with swelling and support the newly contoured area. I won’t be able to do any strenuous activities, like exercise, for several weeks. The doctor also told me that there will be some swelling and bruising, but that it will go away over time. They will be monitoring the incision site for any signs of infection or other complications. Lastly, they said that I will have follow-up appointments to check on my healing and to discuss the final results of the surgery.”
“I am happy with the outcomes of my tummy tuck procedure in Spain. From consultation to recovery, the entire process was simple and painless. The surgical staff was competent and caring, making sure I was at ease and aware of everything at all times. The outcomes are genuinely remarkable, and I am pleased and confident with my new physique.
I would highly recommend this surgery to anyone considering it. The level of care and expertise in Spain is top-notch and the cost is much more affordable than in other countries. I am extremely happy that I chose to have my surgery in Spain, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
