Tighten Loose Abdominal Skin with a Tummy Tuck

January 11, 2016 by

tummy tuck

No matter how healthy your diet might be or how much you exercise, getting rid of excess skin around the midsection is incredibly difficult. Even after losing a large amount of weight, many patients are unhappy with the appearance of their abdomen because of excess skin and soft tissue. For these individuals, a tummy tuck might be the perfect option to flatten and contour the stomach with a procedure that can often be carried out in just a few hours.

Will the Loose Skin Go Away?

Our skin contains a number of different proteins that allow it to remain as flexible as possible. As we grow older, however, we will begin to produce fewer of these proteins. This makes us susceptible to having loose skin after we gain and lose a relatively large amount of weight (including giving birth).

There are some methods to minimize loose skin, but those tactics are not always 100 percent effective. When loose skin has developed, a tummy tuck is one of the only options to fully flatten and contour one’s stomach.

A Closer Look at Tummy Tucks

Check with the doctor to see whether a tummy tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, will be carried out as either an inpatient or outpatient procedure. The surgeon will manipulate the soft tissue and remove excess skin. Once the soft tissue is in the correct position, the surgeon will suture the incision shut. Treatment time may vary.

Is It Right for Me?

Thousands of tummy tucks are carried out every single year and have provided countless patients with amazing results. One of the reasons for this is the amount of preparation that take places before the procedure.

Women that have recently had a child or plan on having another child should refrain from tummy tucks until they are completely done having kids. Patients should be in relatively good health and not smoke tobacco products for some time leading up to the procedure.

You should also notify the surgeon if you take any prescription medication, over-the-counter painkillers, or homeopathic medication.

The Results

Each patient is different, but most will be able to enjoy the results of their tummy tuck for the rest of their lives as long as they do not gain a significant amount of weight. With the proper aftercare, the incision lines are often barely visible. Contact Cosmetic Surgical Arts Center today to make an appointment and find out if a tummy tuck is right for you.
