Preliminary online research is great if you are just starting to consider getting a tummy tuck and want to know basic information like what it does, who’s a good candidate and what recovery is generally like. But for more customized recommendations and professional advice, you’ll want to sit down with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck consultation.
These are just a few of the benefits of an in-person consult over Internet research.

Get Personalized Recommendations
One of the biggest benefits of talking with your plastic surgeon face-to-face is that you can get personalized recommendations about your unique situation. Your body shape and type, natural anatomy and specific goals will all play important roles in determining whether or not you could be a good candidate for a tummy tuck and which techniques might be best.
-
Ask Unlimited Questions
Sure, there are online forums that allow you to post questions. But the responses are usually general because it really requires an in-person evaluation to provide a thorough, accurate answer. Plus, you can ask all the questions you want at your consultation — this time is all about making you feel comfortable and helping you decide if a tummy tuck could be right for you.
Bring a list of questions to your consultation that you want to make sure you ask.
