Better Surgery Results

Many doctors recommend doubling up on surgery and a skin tightener for optimal improvement. Even if the skin is pulled tight to a natural position, if the quality of the skin isn’t good, then the results may not be the best that they could potentially be. “Combining a skin-tightening treatment with surgery, like a tummy tuck, really helps in terms of how the skin looks,” says Fairfax, VA, plastic surgeon Yongsook Victoria Suh, MD. “Three to four weeks after surgery, once you’re healed, we do the skin-tightening treatments to control laxity that may have resulted from post-op swelling.”
