subject: Improve Body Figure With Tummy Tuck [print this page] A tummy tuck is one of the most popular procedures among women, after breast augmentation. Tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fat around the midriff to create a slimmer abdominal area. After giving birth, many women feel a heavy apron of skin hanging from their midriff. A tummy tuck can help remove the sagging skin and fat while also tightening any muscles that have been stretched during weight gain. Tummy tuck often gets confused with a liposuction. Although they are very similar, a liposuction is mainly used to remove fat from a problem area of the body and doesnt get rid of the excess skin as a tummy tuck does.
If you have an isolated pocket of fat in your abdominal area, you may want to ask your plastic surgeon about liposuction. Tummy tucks are a more extensive removal of fat and skin while liposuction removes deposits of fat. A tummy tuck yields long term results but you can still gain weight in your abdominal area, and if this weight is significant, your skin can become strectched and saggy again. In order to prevent this from happening, you will have to maintain your weight through a healthy diet and exercise.
There are several advantages of a tummy tuck that cannot be achieved with a liposuction in Boston. These advantages include:
-Eliminates excess, sagging skin in abdomen that have been unresponsive to diet and exercise
-Creates slimmer abdominal area
-Achieves curvier profile by defining womans hips and breasts from abdominal area
-Tightens loose muscles that have been stretched out
The only thing that tummy tuck does not promise to do is remove stretch marks. In some cases stretch marks are eliminated if they are located on the excess skin being removed.
Overall, a tummy tuck can help improve the contour of your body by removing the sagging skin in the abdomen. Results will vary from patient to patient but the majority of patients have reported that they are more confident about their body after this procedure. Getting rid of the skin and fat in your midriff will boost your self esteem.
You must note that a tummy tuck is not for everyone. The only way to find out if you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck is to schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon to learn whether this surgery can benefit your body. During your consultation you should describe what you would like to change about your body to the plastic surgeon. Your surgeon will then tell you if a liposuction or a tummy tuck in Boston is the best option to achieve your goals.
