Having a baby is a time of joy in your life as you bring a new person into the world. However, it can truly wreak havoc on a mother’s body, loosening your joints, causing your stomach to sag, and leaving you with stores of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. No matter how hard you try to get back your pre-baby body, your efforts may fail. It can be exhausting and frustrating. When that happens, a tummy tuck can help you to look your best.
What is Involved in a Tummy Tuck Procedure?
A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery that is designed to address problems with the contours and tightness of your stomach. The surgeon will remove any of that pesky fat that didn’t go away when you exercised and tried to eat right. Your abdominal muscles will be tightened, and the skin in the upper portion of your abdomen will be drawn down for a tightening effect. Any excess skin will be trimmed away as well. You can expect the procedure to be performed as an outpatient surgery unless there are unique concerns that affect your recovery.
Are You a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
If you are considering a tummy tuck, you need to bear in mind that this is not a solution for losing weight. If you need to shed a significant amount of pounds, you need to look for other alternatives. Even a minor amount of weight loss should take place first before you undergo a tummy tuck. If you think you are going to have more children down the line, you should wait to have a tummy tuck procedure because pregnancy will cause changes in your body once again. Once you have had your procedure, you will need to watch your diet and continue to exercise to maintain the results of your procedure. If you are not careful, you could end up where you started before your operation.
