Facts that you should know about Tummy Tuck Surgery:
Tummy tuck is a surgical procedure to reduce the excess skin and fatty tissue from the lower part of the abdomen and to tighten muscles of the abdominal wall. The best candidates are usually women who had multiple pregnancies and have stretched their abdominal skin so that it won’t retract back and can return to normal. Therefore, it is advisable to wait until you have finished having children before you could proceed with Abdominoplasty.
Tummy Tuck is not a quick treatment for being overweight. People who are overweight and do wish to lose weight should postpone all forms of body contouring surgery until they have been able to maintain their weight loss.
Plastic surgeons do use different techniques to perform Tummy tuck surgery. In fact, Abdominoplasty can be combined with Liposuction, and can be also combined with other elective surgeries like Breast augmentation. However, it is important to mention that liposuction or so-called Suction assisted lipectomy surgery may be an alternative to Tummy tucks surgery if there is good skin tone. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case in older patients who have loss of skin elasticity.
