Many women want to improve their overall look. They dream of having an hourglass body. Due to technological advancements, achieving the waist wasp body that many women dream of is now within reach. Nowadays, one of the most common ways to get the desired result is to undergo surgical operations. However, some women are afraid of surgical procedures because they know that they will suffer from pain. They are not talking about the pain during the surgery since anesthesia can be used. What they are referring to is the pain that will occur after the surgery.
Patients commonly ask how much pain they are going to feel after a tummy tuck. Remember that after you undergo the tummy tuck, you are going to have an incision in the lower abdomen. The abdomen is going to be then dissected superiorly and the muscles would be tightened in order to result in a nice, tight belly. Most of the pain comes from the tightening of the muscle as well as the incision site, but when the muscle is tightened, It only means that the dissection does not go below the level of the muscle. If you have undergone a C-section before, it will hurt more than a regular tummy tuck. In other words, pain after a tummy tuck will be much less due to the fact that the muscle is not cut. Patients who have undergone C-section have reported less pain with a tummy tuck compared to patients who have not undergone any major surgery.
If you are planning to undergo surgical operations and you are afraid of the pain that comes with the procedures, you have to tell it to your surgeon. There are painkillers that surgeon can prescribe to decrease the pain or for you to not feel the pain at all. These pain medications will be prescribed in order to minimize your discomfort after surgery.
