Are You a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

You did everything right, adhering to a nutritious diet and exercising regularly. While you’ve lost weight, you have stubborn body fat that refuses to budge. You’re not sure what else to do about it except continue with your diet and exercise regimen. A tummy tuck could be just what you need. Are you curious whether you’re a good candidate for this procedure? Here’s more information.

What Is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to eliminate excess skin and fat from the abdomen while also restoring firmness to the muscles. The procedure also helps to strengthen the abdominal wall, resulting in a more defined and slender appearance of the abdomen.

Who Can Get a Tummy Tuck?

You could be a good candidate for a tummy tuck if:

• You’ve lost a lot of weight and have excess fat.
• You’re at a healthy weight but are still dealing with stubborn pockets of abdominal fat.
• You’ve been pregnant before and are currently struggling to get your old body back.

What Results Should You Expect After a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck can be a transformative procedure, but it’s important to walk into it with realistic expectations. For example, a tummy tuck will lead to a flatter, more toned stomach, but it will not help you lose weight. That’s why you should be at or close to your ideal body weight before receiving the procedure.

It is common to experience swelling in the first week or two after the procedure, which may temporarily obscure your results. As part of your healing process, you may be required to use a compression garment.

After the compression wear is removed and the swelling goes down, you’ll be able to appreciate your transformed midsection.
