A tummy tuck is a big thing, so it’s not unusual to feel a little nervous before your initial consultation with a plastic surgeon. Of course, if you get to the point where you’re too stressed to consider your options and actually get to the point of having the tummy tuck, you’ve got a problem. Listen to your gut, but don’t let those pesky nerves block your dreams.
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
You should only ever work with a board-certified plastic surgeon with a lot of tummy tuck experience. It’s also important to choose one you’re comfortable working with. You’re probably not keen on showing off your flaws, but you’ll need to be candid with your plastic surgeon in terms of both your appearance concerns and your goals. Don’t worry about showing your belly flab to your plastic surgeon. It’s literally their business to evaluate your cosmetic concerns and help you attain a sexier figure!
Prepare Yourself and Practice
You know you want to get rid of that baggy skin and tighten those saggy muscles, so now you need to get yourself through the tummy tuck consultation and onwards to the procedure itself. Think happy thoughts, promise yourself a reward (other than the new figure!) or whatever it takes. Just get in there, ask your prepared questions and get that tummy tuck done. Silly as you might feel, it could help to practice interviewing yourself in the mirror before you set off for your consultation.
Eyes on The Prize
Your tummy tuck consultation isn’t something to be afraid of. It’s just one step on your way to a new improved you. What are a few nerves when you could be very close to being bikini-ready for summer? Stand up tall, take a deep breath and get that consultation over and done with.
