Are you a good candidate for tummy tuck?
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has shown that tummy tuck is one of the procedures that is dramatically increasing in frequency. The tummy tuck operation is designed to tighten the loose skin and muscles of the abdomen following pregnancy and weight loss.
If substantial weight loss has left you with a lot of loose skin, or if you’ve recently been pregnant, tummy tuck might be in order. The recovery time from the procedure is variable, but most people will probably feel very tired for a couple of weeks and may need up to a month away from work.
Tummy tuck is a very safe procedure when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon on an appropriately healthy candidate. Surgeons select patients based on whether they are a good candidate for the surgery. Good tummy tuck candidates are healthy men and women with excess abdominal skin who are of stable weight and not obese.
Prior to surgery, a complete medical history is taken to evaluate the general health of the patient. Surgeons generally won’t operate on anyone who smokes, who hasn’t been at stable weight for at least six months, or who has a heart condition, lung disease, diabetes, or a diagnosed psychological disorder.
