Tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) is a procedure most popular among women that removes excess skin, fat and tightens the muscle beneath the skin. While the recovery period is longer than other procedures used for body contouring, the triple action of the tummy tuck provides amazing results that our patients consistently love. The reasons behind getting a tummy tuck is unique to each individual; we discuss three reasons that lead to both men and women choosing a tummy tuck.
Pregnancy
It is no secret that the female body undergoes significant changes during pregnancy and childbirth. These changes often leave women feeling unhappy and uncomfortable in their own skin.
Tummy tucks are favourites of women with children to remove loose, stretched skin that covers separated and weakened abdominal muscles. All of these features can be resolved with a tummy tuck.
Loose skin
Significant weight loss commonly results in excess skin that hangs from the body, often extremely disliked and unwanted by its owner. The visual appearance isn’t the only reason to have excess skin removed after a weight loss journey.
Loose skin poses health risks to people as keeping the skin clean and free of bacteria to avoid infection can be time-consuming and difficult. Bacteria and infection, when left untreated, is a serious health risk that can be avoided.
A tummy tuck is the primary procedure to remove excess skin to reveal the true results of weight loss.
Body contouring
While procedures such as liposuction and coolsculpting are known for their contouring benefits, abdominoplasty is also often used to resolve stubborn fat deposits around the stomach area to make the torso look trim and taut.
Tummy tucks should only be used for this purpose if someone is near their ideal weight but can’t shake the last few kilograms through regular diet and exercise techniques. Your surgeon can advise you what procedure is right for you, your body, and your desired results if you are wanting to go down the surgical route for body contouring.
