Fall Holidays Popular Time for Abdominoplasty, Reveal San Jose Plastic Surgeons

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 25, 2014) - The fall and winter holidays can be a convenient period to address the desire for cosmetic enhancement, explain San Jose plastic surgeons Jerome Liu, MD, and Tom Liu, MD. With so many individuals taking vacation from work to spend time with friends and family, the plastic surgeons suggest this season may provide the right opportunity for many patients to undergo an abdominoplasty, also called tummy tuck surgery, if they have been considering the procedure. Designed to remove excess, inelastic skin and tighten loose abdominal muscles, the cosmetic surgeons indicate many individuals who have had children or lost significant weight may wish to gift themselves this treatment, which could potentially enhance not only their appearance but also their self esteem.

Dr. Jerome Liu explains that many patients report a desire to feel and look their best during this season. There are several potential benefits of tummy tuck surgery being performed over the holidays, he states, including having numerous caring individuals nearby who can aid recovery, as well as receiving extended time off from work and other typical obligations.

To help patients become well-informed about the procedure, Dr. Tom Liu details what to expect from tummy tuck surgery, saying the operation typically requires about two to three hours to complete. Not all patients will need the abdomen muscles tightened, he notes, and some may require liposuction to help achieve optimal results, so a customized treatment plan is always recommended. The San Jose plastic surgeon says the incision is generally made low on the stomach, below the waistline of today's fashionable garments if possible. After the procedure is finished, patients are encouraged to take time off work, rest, and avoid exercise for at least one to weeks -- longer if they had their muscles tightened.

Ultimately, Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu advise patients considering tummy tuck surgery to examine whether the holidays may be the right time to achieve their cosmetic enhancement goals, noting, "Since it's easy to get an extended block of vacation, it's a great time to recuperate after a body transforming surgery."
