Who is a Tummy Tuck for?

Every patient is different, and so is every treatment plan.  A good candidate may have excess fat and skin following pregnancy, weight fluctuation or ageing.

TUMMY TUCK CAN:

  • Remove excess skin and fat
  • Improve shape
  • Improve posture
  • Increase confidence

It can be combined with tightening of widened tummy muscles (rectus diastasis) and liposuction to improve the shape. Tummy muscles can become distended after pregnancy and excessive weight fluctuation, weakness of the muscles can contribute to bad posture, lower back pain, and signs of lazy bowel syndrome such as constipation. Repairing the muscles during tummy tuck can support the spine and improve the above signs.

Tummy Tuck to Fix Diastastis Recti

Your tummy tuck can fix abdominal muscle separation

Rectus Diastasis (also known as Diastastis Recti) happens when there is distance between tummy muscles, causing the belly to stick out. The condition commonly occurs after pregnancy and repeated heavy lifting.

The symptoms of diastasis include:

  • Back pain
  • Poor posture
  • Protruding belly
  • Difficulty lifting objects
  • Constipation (lazy bowel syndrome)
  • Loss of bladder control

Conservative management includes strengthening core muscles and weight management, but many experts agree that surgery is the main line of treatment to fully correct the diastasis. Muscles can be tightened and brought back to the anatomical position during tummy tuck surgery, and this is something Dr. Alamouti has accomplished many times before.

Will I have visible scars?

Yes, there would be a transverse scar on the lower abdomen and around belly button which fades with time.

How long do results last?

Results can be long term as long as maintain a stable weight.

How long I need to take off work?

It depends on the profession, but most people can go back to work 2-3 weeks after the procedure.

Can other procedures be combined with tummy tuck?

Yes. Mommy makeover is a combination of tummy and breast procedures to address multiple areas. The advantage is one general anaesthesia and recovery time.

A tummy tuck can be a way to restore confidence and help an individual to feel better about themselves and their body. Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and tighten the abdominal area. Excess skin and fat is removed, and the underlying muscles are tightened. This results in a flatter and more toned abdomen.

The process is increasingly popular with a wide range of different people, all of whom have varied reasons for wanting to undergo the procedure. It can be particularly beneficial for people who struggle with loose skin, or stubborn fat deposits. Many people find that weakened abdominal muscles cannot be improved through exercise and a healthy diet alone. Stomach fat removal is not a shortcut to weight loss and a better figure, but it can be helpful for people who have lost weight or have excess fat that has been impervious to exercise.

Why do people want a tummy tuck?

Tummy tucks are performed for a wide variety of reasons. One common motivation is to address the changes in the abdominal area caused by pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnancy can lead to the lead abdominal muscles separating and the skin stretching. This can result in loose skin and a protruding belly which may women feel uncomfortable with and cannot be removed by diet and exercise. In such cases, tummy tuck before and after photographs show a marked difference in the overall look of the abdomen, providing a boost in self-confidence and body image. In many cases, a tummy tuck will be a part of a well-deserved ‘mummy makeover’ to help restore confidence and boost self-esteem.

Another common reason for having a tummy tuck procedure is weight loss. After doing all the hard work to lose weight, many people find that they are left with excess skin around the abdomen. A tummy tuck after weight loss removes this excess skin, leaving the individual with a slimmer and more streamlined overall look. The new tummy tuck procedure is highly targeted and effective when it comes to helping people achieve greater body confidence.

Tummy muscles can become distended after pregnancy and excessive weight fluctuation. The subsequent weakness of the muscles can then contribute to bad posture, lower back pain, and signs of lazy bowel syndrome such as constipation. Repairing the muscles during a tummy tuck can support the spine and improve these factors.

Are the results permanent?

While a tummy tuck can provide long-lasting results, maintaining those results is dependent on a number of factors. It is, of course, very important to maintain a stable weight after the procedure, as weight fluctuations can impact the overall appearance of the abdomen. Any pregnancies after the tummy procedure can affect the results as the abdominal muscles and skin are once again stretched. With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, the results of the tummy tuck procedure can be maintained for many years.

Who is a good candidate for a tummy tuck procedure?

If you’re looking for a tummy tuck near me, you are likely to have some questions about the effectiveness of the procedure, as well as the tummy tuck cost. While a wide range of people can benefit from a tummy tuck procedure, it’s always important to have realistic expectations about what can be achieved.

Most people who have abdominoplasty will have concerns about excess skin and fat in the abdominal area and will be looking for a tummy tuck to help address these concerns. Women who have completed their family and are not considering another pregnancy, are often ideal candidates.

Whether you’re male or female, if you have excess skin and stomach fat that is giving you concern, then a tummy tuck procedure may be appropriate.
