Tummy tucks offer a solution to those with sagging skin or disproportionate weight stored in the abdomen region. Obtaining a flatter, more toned stomach is usually the goal, but the reasons for seeking a tummy tuck vary. Both men and women can benefit from this surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the belly. Here are three of the top reasons people seek a tummy tuck from their local plastic surgeon.
Post-Pregnancy
One of the most common reasons for a tummy tuck is loose skin due to pregnancy. Women who have had one or more pregnancy may have difficulty regaining a flat stomach if the skin and tissue does not rebound. Exercise and diet can only help lose fat and tone the muscle underneath; a tummy tuck can remove sagging skin and improve the tone of the stomach area.
Excessive Weight Loss
Both men and women who have lost significant amounts of weight may find their stomach still has excess skin. The only option to regain a flatter, tighter tummy is to remove the stretched skin and tissue. This can help flatten the abdomen and create a more flattering silhouette for those who have worked so hard to lose their excess weight.
Stubborn Abdomen Fat
For some people, the abdomen may be the only place that has excess fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction or a tummy tuck can remove excess fat and smooth the tummy when other methods are ineffective.
If you have a tummy region that you want to flatten or excess skin you want removed, talk to an experienced plastic surgeon that offers tummy tuck procedures. It could be the best option to achieve a more svelte waistline and improve your self-confidence in your figure.
