The doctor or surgeon that you select for your procedure can
play a large role in eliminating the risks associated with the
surgery. Choosing the right surgeon for your tummy tuck procedure
is a big decision that should not be taken lightly. It is important
that you discuss the techniques that are to be performed, the
type of anesthesia, and the different risks associated with the
procedure. You need to tell your tummy tuck surgeon if you are
a smoker, as this may affect your procedure, anesthesia, and/or
medication.
