Rapid weight loss with medications like Wegovy or Mounjaro often leads to loose skin, especially around the abdomen, arms, and chest. This post explains why body contouring surgery may be necessary after significant weight loss, how to prevent sagging skin, and why Evita Clinic in Korea is a trusted choice for international patients.
Smoking significantly impacts post-surgical healing, especially in breast surgeries and tummy tucks, by constricting blood vessels and reducing oxygen supply. This can lead to complications like necrosis, delayed healing, and hypertrophic scarring. Ensuring adequate blood flow is critical for optimal recovery and aesthetic results. To minimize risks, smokers should quit at least one week before surgery and remain smoke-free for at least two weeks postoperatively. Prioritizing this step improves healing outcomes and overall surgical success.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a transformative procedure that enhances body contour and boosts confidence. However, like any major surgery, minor post-operative issues can arise, with seroma being one of the most common. Seroma occurs when fluid accumulates in the surgical area due to disrupted lymphatic flow. While typically harmless, proper prevention and management—such as compression garments, balanced activity, and drain care—are essential for a smooth recovery. Learn how to minimize risks and handle seroma effectively for optimal healing.

A surgical drain is a small tube placed under your skin during procedures like Tummy Tucks, Gynecomastia, or Breast Surgery at Evita Clinic. Its main purpose is to remove excess fluid from the surgical area, which helps reduce swelling and promotes faster healing. You will need to empty the attached collection bulb several times daily and carefully record the fluid amount – this information is crucial for your surgeon during follow-up visits. While wearing the drain might feel slightly awkward, it is secured by a stitch and typically not painful. The drain is usually removed after 3 to 5 days, depending on your surgery and when the fluid output decreases significantly. The removal process is quick and generally involves only minor discomfort.
Visceral obesity, or central obesity, is a serious health concern linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other risks. Unlike subcutaneous fat, visceral fat surrounds vital organs and cannot be removed through liposuction or tummy tuck. Learn about effective strategies, including lifestyle changes, medical treatments, and the role of surgical procedures in motivating long-term weight management.
