Abdominoplasty And How To Maintain That Sleek New Belly

Your abdomen is slim and taut again thanks to your recent cosmetic surgical procedure of abdominoplasty, more commonly known as the tummy tuck

. Finally, you can wear form fitting clothes, tuck your shirt in and look great strolling down the beach! Your confidence is soaring because, let's face it, you look fantastic! You are so happy to be back on your feet and looking good.

The procedure of the abdominoplasty involves removing excess sagging folds of skin in the abdomen area. During the process, the physician also tightens up the fascia which surrounds the abdominal muscles in order to pull the area in to a slimmer look. This is a procedure which must be performed by a reputable plastic surgeon under a general anesthetic and usually requires an overnight hospital stay.

There will be swelling, bruising and quite a bit of pain hich is tolerated by the use of prescribed pain medication. A compression garment will need to be worn for four to six weeks in order to support the area and to aid in healing. But after six weeks to three months, healing has taken place and the outcome is stunning.

Now that you look like a million bucks, take a few health enhancing steps to ensure that you'll stay that way. Here are a few tips to keep you slender:

Eat a healthy diet! Make sure that you adopt a well balanced and nutritious daily food plan which includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Just say no to high fat and calorie laden fast food.

Drink plenty of water. Water keeps your digestive system cleansed and moving as well as making you feel energized and to literally glow.

Incorporate some exercise into every day. A gym workout or formal exercise regime is wonderful, but if that doesn't work with your lifestyle, any type of physical activity is helpful in keeping you fit. Opt to take the stairs instead of the elevator, go on daily walks around your neighborhood, do your housework to music, or go swimming along with your kids. Some stretching and a few ab exercises will also go a long way in keeping your newly flattened belly taut.

Take it easy on the alcoholic beverages. A glass of wine or two occasionally can be a relaxing social treat, but alcoholic beverages are loaded with calories. A couple of beers a day can add 300 to 400 calories to your daily total which can then lead to the gaining of several pounds each month. That adds up!

You went through a lot to sculpt yourself into this attractive new you and you want to be able to stay that way. Adopt some healthy lifestyle habits and you will be able to keep your sexy new abdomen lean and firm for many years to come.
