Your body goes through many changes in your lifetime. Over time, you may find that your belly no longer looks the same.
While dieting and exercise are important tools for creating and maintaining an ideal body contour, such efforts are not always enough on their own.
Pregnancy, for instance, can leave a woman struggling with a bulging belly that does not respond to any natural intervention. The same could be said for people who lose a significant amount of weight and are left with excess skin.
There is little that can be done about these concerns unless you undergo a tummy tuck.
What Does a Tummy Tuck Do?
A tummy tuck will tighten/repair weakened and separated abdominal muscles and remove any excess skin from the area to restore a youthful and toned figure. By doing so, individuals can create a beautiful, more slender, flatter, and firmer tummy appearance.
In many cases, patients see the best outcomes when a tummy tuck is combined with a liposuction procedure. While a tummy tuck does an amazing job of tightening abdominal muscles and addressing excess skin, it can only do so much for fat deposits surrounding the belly.
That’s where liposuction comes in: to get rid of the unwanted fat pockets that do not respond to exercise or diet.
Since many people struggle with fat around their entire midsection, this is the best approach to help them reach their desired goals.
Combining Tummy Tuck Surgery and Liposuction For Best Results
There are many benefits of combining both procedures.
You will have:
- Tighter abdominal muscles
- A more sculpted waistline
- Less sagging skin
- A striking, aesthetically pleasing figure
- Better-fitting clothes
- Improved self-confidence
Whether you have stretched-out stomach skin after pregnancy or failed to be keen on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, a tummy tuck can be the life-changing procedure you’ve been seeking.
The procedure should only be performed when at or close to your ideal weight. Otherwise, your beautiful results could be diminished when you lose or gain significant weight afterward.
For this reason, the best candidates for the procedure are those who have established a healthy, active lifestyle; this goes a long way in helping maintain results for many years to come.
