What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a surgical body contouring procedure which tightens and reshapes the abdominal area, helping to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing, slimmer overall appearance.
During the surgery, the abdominal muscles are tightened and excess, sagging skin is eliminated, correcting a protruding belly and leaving the midsection flatter and better toned.
Benefits of Tummy Tuck
This procedure can help to:
- Removes excess skin: Smooth loose, saggy skin around the abdomen
- Tightens abdominal muscles: Remove excess abdominal fat
- Improves abdominal contour: Improve the way clothes fit
- Creating a more defined midsection not only improves your clothing options, but can take years off your appearance and boost your self-confidence.
Medical Considerations for Tummy Tuck:
In addition to improved aesthetics, a tummy tuck can also offer medical benefits. For example, this procedure can:
Aid in recovery of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI): During the tummy tuck procedure, the soft tissue around the pelvic area is used, which helps improve incontinence.
Help achieve better posture and abdominal tone: A tummy tuck can help improve abdominal tone and posture. After a tummy tuck, patients may notice better posture as well as a tightened and flattened stomach.
Offer relief from ventral hernias: A ventral hernia is a condition in which the abdominal tissue or the intestine begins to push through the abdominal wall. A tummy tuck may be able to aid in relief from this condition by providing the patient with a stronger abdomen.
