The ideal candidates for a tummy tuck are patients in relatively good physical shape, but have excess skin or fat in the abdominal area. They may have tried exercise, but to no avail. No amount of exercise will reduce the amount of excess skin in the tummy area or elsewhere on the body. This condition requires a more direct approach to the problem.
Another ideal candidate is the patient that lacks laxity of underlying muscles due to pregnancy, which makes it very difficult for these patients to return their abdominal area to a flat appearance. For these women, the skin and muscles have stretched beyond the point where they can naturally return to their normal location and shape. Exercise may slightly improve, but will not satisfactorily correct the damage to the muscles and abdominal wall.
Other candidates include patients who were grossly overweight and have since lost a lot of the weight and have excess skin in the abdominal area. The muscles be stretched and damaged, causing a similar effect on the abdomen as pregnancy.
The normal process of aging can cause skin to sag or lose elasticity, and muscles to lose mass and flexibility.
These aging effects on the body make many older patients excellent candidates for a tummy tuck.
Many men are interested in having tummy tucks these days. Most of them have tried to lose the bulging, saggy tummy by working out, but this doesn't work any better for men that it does for women. A tummy tuck is the solution to this problem for men as well as women.
The ideal candidate for a tummy tuck is also one that has realistic expectations and understands the procedure and the recovery process. The repair and tightening of the abdominal muscles, and the removal of the excess skin, may greatly improve body shape and appearance, but it may not be a life-changing event. You will still be the same person, you will just look healthier, and feel so much better about yourself.
So, if you have:
* Excess or sagging abdominal skin
* Excess fatty tissue that is concentrated in your abdomen or tummy area
* An abdomen that protrudes and is out of proportion to the rest of your body
* Abdominal muscles that have been separated and weakened
* Have and understanding of the procedure and the recovery process
* Have realistic expectations of the results
You are an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck!
