It is true to say that a women’s body can be found in all shapes and sizes, and what works for one, might not work for another. It is also true to say that most people have different areas of their body that they like and some that they dislike.
Tummy’s are a hot topic in our office, as we often speak with patients who have worked so hard on weight loss, but struggle to move or remove stubborn areas around their middle. This could be an overhang of stretched skin and fat, or stretch marks or post pregnancy sag.
Often our patients feel frustrated and fed up with their stomach, and are looking for a transformation or lasting improvement to help them sculpt and shape this last bit. This is where a tummy tuck can help, with or without liposuction.
If like many you are struggling with low hanging excess skin, a tummy tuck will transform your midriff to enhance your muscles and waistline.
It is important to understand that this is not a weight loss treatment, but rather a way of repairing, tightening and sculpting abdominal muscles, and giving you back your waist. We know that the best candidates for surgery are patients near too their ideal weight, and so it is advisable to lose the extra weight before opting for tummy surgery.
While tummy tucks cannot guarantee the removal of stretch marks, it can often help; since the abdominal skin is pulled down, and some removed, any stretch marks can be lowered, or potentially removed if they are part of the lower excess skin.
Expect more than physical benefits following surgery. Of course, you will need time to heal and recover and even a lifting hand those first few weeks – however, expect a more confident and happy you, as you choose new clothes to fit your new shape and you enjoy a stronger and leaner core.
