As we age, we tend to lose elasticity in our bodies making our skin sag in areas that once was firm and taut. This is especially true if you’ve endured a significant weight loss or had children. Skin will not always “bounce back” to its normal shape and size as it would have at an earlier age.

For many people, a tummy tuck is a great option for removing excess fat and skin. The procedure can also restore weakened or separated muscles creating a more appealing abdominal profile.

Although the tummy tuck can achieve desired results, it’s important to note that it is not ideal for everyone:

 
  • A tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss or a regular exercise regimen.
  • The results of the surgery are permanent, but will not withstand significant fluctuations in weight. Therefore, if individuals are considering future pregnancies or weight loss, they should not undergo the surgery until a later date.
  • Also, a tummy tuck cannot correct stretch marks. However, if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be removed—generally those treated areas below the belly button—they may disappear.



Ensure that you are in good health and are able to maintain a stable weight for optimal results. Also, talk to your doctor to see if this is the best procedure for you.
