Tired of doing a hundred sit-ups a day but still not achieving the flat stomach that you want? Do you have too much flab or excess skin in your tummy because of extreme weight loss or pregnancy that no amount of exercise can seem to take off? If yes, abdominoplasty, or more commonly referred to as “tummy tuck” should be something to consider.
Tummy tuck, or medically termed as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed to remove excess skin in the middle and lower abdominal area and leaves it tight and flat. The procedure also eliminates visible stretch marks on the skin. Tummy tuck should not be confused with liposuction, though a physician may opt to perform liposuction together with the tummy tuck. There are different kinds of tummy tucks, each one varying in scope and technique. There are tummy tucks that require a horizontal incising in the lower abdomen, others only requiring a small incision. Tummy tuck is ideal for patients who underwent extreme weight loss or women after pregnancy. The surgery is suitable for men and women. However, it should be noted that this procedure is not recommended for women who are still planning to have children. During the procedure, the vertical abdominal muscles are tightened and future pregnancies can stretch out and separate these muscles.

After losing over 60 pounds, she still had a fat stomach with a lot of loose excess skin. After the procedure, her stomach is tightened and her muscles are more toned. Getting a tummy tuck not only helped her get the dream body she always wanted, but also helped boost her self-esteem and self-confidence. Of course, she had to bear the pain post-operation, but most of the pain went away during the first week.
