After consulting a surgeon for the possible cosmetic surgery you can have after a tremendous weight loss, there is a possibility that your surgeon would require you to do some preparations. You should be ready for the tasks and start months before the surgery.
Doing these preparations can provide improved healing and probably less scaring to the incision areas. Firstly, you must exercise and make sure that your muscles are all toned up. This would prepare you for the surgery and help reduce the possible risks and complications of the procedure. More so, in order to help strengthen your muscles, eating a lot of protein-rich food is helpful because they can help the body heal faster.
If you have a weight goal or probably your surgeon has created a weight goal for you, you must concentrate on that goal. Strive hard to achieve that goal or become close to it as much as possible. Additionally, you can take vitamin supplements while doing the exercises to help you stay healthy.
Lastly and probably the most important thing to do before a surgery is to stop and do not smoke. Smoking has adverse effects to the body and can directly affect your body's ability to heal. What smoking does is to lessen the oxygen intake of the body, which is needed by the cells to heal, as you smoke and know that removing a lot of skin requires a lot of healing.
Exercise is not only required before any cosmetic surgery but also after, especially after liposuction, body contouring and tummy tuck. After having certain operations, you may be required to do some light exercise in order to improve the healing process. This way, the muscle and skin will tighten and help promote successful recovery.
