Surgical Solutions : Tummy Tuck
|
A tummy tuck, whether partial or complete, produces excellent results for patients with weakened abdominal muscles or excess skin. And in most cases, the results are long lasting, if you follow a balanced diet and exercise regularly.
Patients who intend to lose a lot of weight should postpone the surgery. Also, women who plan future pregnancies should wait, as vertical muscles in the abdomen that are tightened during surgery can separate again during pregnancy. If the patient has scarring from previous abdominal surgery, the doctor may recommend against abdominoplasty or may caution that scars could be unusually prominent.
