WHAT DO I REALLY THINK ABOUT GETTING A TUMMY TUCK DONE?

A few years ago, I would have asked “exactly why do people do cosmetic surgery? Why do some women tuck in their tummy? Why do healthy people not choose to burn away their excess fat rather than having to lay on a hospital bed and have their skin painfully shredded in different pieces?”

I stop asking and understood quickly when a cousin of mine lost roughly 40kg due to jaw pain. I remembered preferring my very fat cousin to the new one who look slim but not trim.

Her excess skin was all over the place. It was like she was carrying laundry in a bag hung around her tummy. She later complained that the pain she was getting from packing her lose tummy around was same she got from her bad jaw.

We saw a Doc. Who quickly suggested a tummy tuck. And I couldn’t wait for her to get it done and over with.

I may not be in support of a tummy tuck, but I think it is the best solution for heavy, excessive lose skin that is life threatening.

HOW BEST TO DESCRIBE A TUMMY TUCK

A tummy tuck — a procedure also known as abdominoplasty — is typically performed as an elective surgery for patients who want a flat stomach.

Doctors remove excess skin and fat while tightening the muscles in the abdominal wall, which provides a flatter midsection.

Common reasons for developing loose or sagging skin in the abdominal area include aging, previous surgeries, genetics and large weight fluctuations.

A tummy tuck enhances the appearance of the lower abdomen by treating the stubborn “pooch” that is often resistant to diet and exercise.

It is popular among women following pregnancy, as well as both men and women after a major weight loss.

This procedure removes excess fat and skin while tightening the internal abdominal wall muscles. Patients considering this surgery should be in good physical health and at or near their goal weight.

Abdominoplasty allows individuals to have firmer, flatter stomachs, giving them the confidence to wear swimsuits and tighter fitting clothing.

The reasons why people opt for tummy tuck includes

• EXCESSIVE WEIGHT LOSS

• UNDERGOING MULTIPLE PREGNANCIES

• STRETCHED OUT SKIN DUE TO PREGNANCY WITH MULTIPLES

• DISPROPORTIONAL FAT DISTRIBUTION

• GENETICS

• PREVIOUS SURGERIES

• AGING

Now that you know why most people opt for a tummy tuck, you may also love to know how much a tummy tuck cost and best places to get one done if you really need one.
