Tummy Tuck Pros & Cons

Are you considering a tummy tuck to remove stubborn fat on your lower abs and sides? A tummy tuck can be a great procedure for removing excess fat and skin from the middle and lower abdomen, revealing a tighter, fitter and flatter, midsection.

At Preserve your Pretty Skin and Body, we recommend tummy tucks for those who diet and exercise regularly, but find that they are still dealing with loose or sagging skin. It’s our main priority to ensure each and everyone of our clients understands the nature of the surgery they’re interested in before undergoing a procedure. Like all surgical procedures, there are both pros and cons to a tummy tuck.

Tummy Tuck Advantages

An abdominoplasty can yield great results for those that have loose or sagging skin. Some of the great benefits of having a tummy tuck are:

• Having a flatter, tighter, and firmer abdomen from removing excess fat and skin.
• Enjoying a more youthful-looking body
• Improved confidence and the ability to fit into desired clothes with a trimmer waistline
• Less stretch marks

The great thing about a tummy tuck is that it can be used with other clinical methods like liposuction, which can enhance an individual’s results. Many of our patients at Preserve your Pretty Skin and Body choose to have liposuction in order to remove excess fat, in addition to a tummy tuck, for maximum results.

Tummy Tuck Disadvantages

Along with having a flatter midsection, there are some downsides associated with having a tummy tuck that every patient should be aware of. These include:

• A permanent scar on your bikini area. These usually do not fade but are easily covered up by clothes and bathing suits.
• A pregnancy can influence surgery results. At Preserve your Pretty Skin and Body, we recommend waiting until you’re finished having children before having a tummy tuck.
• Improper after care could lead to the formation of an infection. Although, we take the time to thoroughly educate each and every one of our patients about proper after care.
• Like all medical procedures, a tummy tuck has its own risks, including the formation of blood clots and other skin related problems.
• Recovery time may be lengthy and require taking off work.

At Preserve your Pretty Skin and Body, we will go over all of the potential cons associated with a tummy tuck, so you feel confident and comfortable with your decision.
