Tummy tuck
Also known as abdominoplasty, the tummy tuck assists with the removal of excess skin and fat. In many cases it helps in restoring separated or weakened muscles creating a smoother and firmer abdominal profile. Many people strive for a well toned and flat abdomen through exercise but with little success. As a result, it is common to see people with normal body proportions and weight, developing abdomens that protrude.
The main causes of a loose abdomen include:
· Heredity
· Pregnancy
· Aging
· Prior surgery
· Significant weight fluctuations
Abdominoplasty is recommended for healthy people with a stable weight and those who do not smoke. If you are recovering from a c-section procedure, it is not recommended for you.
The results of a tummy tuck can be permanent; however, the results can be undermined by fluctuations in weight. Therefore, people planning to lose weight or women considering future pregnancies can be advised against the abdominoplasty surgery.
