Tummy Tuck for Men and Women 

Are you a woman who has had a child or a few children, and have noticed your midsection has a lot of flabby skin and extra fat that you just aren't able to get rid of? Are you a man who suffers from what we all know as the extra spare tire around the midsection that you just aren't able to get rid of?

Have you been eating healthy, going to the gym or exercising as much as your life allows, yet you are not seeing any results in your waistline? Have you tried multiple diets with little or no success? Are you just wanting your six pack back yet it seems to be nothing you will ever accomplish?

Reasons Why Women Undergo A Tummy Tuck

Many women who have been pregnant, whether it be once or multiple times, want to have their bodies looking the way they did before getting pregnant. Do you suffer from low self-confidence due to the way your midsection looks?

If you are a woman who was obese and lost so much weight that you have a lot of flabby skin just hanging there from it being stretched out excess fat, and your abdominal muscles are separated then there is really only one option to get off all the extra and fix your abdominal muscles. That one option is getting a tummy tuck procedure done to remove all the extra skin and fat around your abdomen and to tighten your abdominal muscles.

Your genetics could have a lot to do with the way you look. Look at others who are in your family, do you see a resemblance? If so, then you should talk to your doctor to see if a tummy tuck would help you in any way.

Reasons Why Men Undergo A Tummy Tuck

When men get older, the way fat is distributed throughout their bodies changes. This can lead to many men being overweight older in their lives. The excess fat that the male body carries around can have an impact on the mental and emotional stability of any man. It also can cause health risks to their cardiovascular system.

Genetics can also have something to do with the way a person is shaped and the way their body distributes certain things like fat throughout the whole body. Men want to be able to do what they love but if their body isn't letting them, then why not have a tummy tuck to help them?

A boost in self-confidence, health concerns, and just wanting to look their best are good reasons to have this procedure done if you are a good candidate and your doctor thinks it will help.

A Tummy Tuck Procedure

The medical taerm for a tummy tuck procedure is abdominoplasty. There are different types of abdominoplasty that a person could get. Depending on your situation and goals, your surgeon will go over what options he or she thinks is best for you.

To give you an idea of what to expect, a complete abdominoplasty consists of your surgeon cutting your abdomen from hip bone to hip bone. Then he or she will contour the skin, tissue, and the muscles as needed. During this process, your belly button will be moved and your will probably need drainage tubes just under your skin for a little while.

You will be asleep during your surgery which could take anywhere from one to five hours, depending on how extensive your surgery is. You will also be expected to spend the night in the hospital, also depending on your situation.

What To Expect After Your Abdominoplasty

After any surgery, you know there can be complications. These risks your surgeon and his or her staff will go over with you before you decide to have surgery and then once again before surgery.

After your tummy tuck, you will experience some pain and swelling. Some other side effects could be numbness, bruising, and being excessively tired. You will also have permanent scars which will fade but never completely go away.

Once you are able to return home, it will be important for you to follow your surgeon's directions completely from changing your bandage to how you should sit and lay down to ease the pain. Also, you are going to be very limited on what you are able to do for at least six weeks so it is recommended that you have someone with you who can take care of the kids, the housework, the pets, and help you.

If you are in good health, are done having children, and want to tighten the abdominal area, then you could be the perfect candidate for abdominoplasty.
