Individuals often choose to have a tummy tuck after weight loss, tummy tuck for loose skin after aging, or a tummy tuck for diastasis recti—which is the term for abdominal muscles separated due to fat or pregnancy. One of the biggest misconceptions about a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) or “tummy lift” is that it’s designed to help you lose a substantial amount of weight from the midsection.
It’s important to reiterate that a stomach tuck is not a weight loss or bariatric procedure. Many stomach tuck patients will lose somewhere between three to five pounds of excess skin and fat, depending on the extent or scope of the surgery.
When you lose weight via lifestyle changes by creating a calorie deficit, the fat cells themselves don’t go anywhere—they simply shrink in size. The cells can become enlarged again if you regain weight. Moreover, we can’t control where fat is lost from. Liposuction as part of a stomach tuck not only removes the fat cells themselves but can also remove them specifically from the stomach area. Even so, the fat suctioned out is a fraction of the body’s overall stores.
Some patients are interested in what is sometimes called a “plus size tummy tuck,” and may ask questions about whether obese people can enjoy the results of a tuck, but a stomach tuck is actually intended for people who are close to or at their ideal weight for their height and who are otherwise healthy but are still experiencing a protruding stomach.
Note that a stomach tuck or tummy tuck isn’t the same as what some refer to as “belly apron surgery,” which is a surgical procedure that removes excess hanging skin and fat on the lower abdominal area—typically what remains behind after a patient loses a significant amount of weight.
Would you like to know about what your total flat stomach surgery cost will be, what you can expect for the appearance of your stomach after tummy tuck surgery, reasons why you might experience side effects such as “stomach not flat after tummy tuck” during the initial weeks of recovery after abdominoplasty surgery, or other details about stomach skin removal surgery? Contact us to discover more about a stomach tuck or tummy tuck to “tuck in” the stomach.
“Tummy Tuck Near Me,” “Stomach Tuck Cost,” and “Tummy Tuck Doctors Near Me” are some of the most common stomach tuck-related searches. Aside from mini tummy tucks and non-surgical tummy tuck treatments, there are other forms of cosmetic surgery available. Though a tummy tuck and lipo are often combined, liposuction can be done separately as a standalone procedure to remove fat from specific body areas, such as the abdomen, the upper arms, below the chin, the thighs, and other areas. Breast surgeries such as breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction can enhance the volume and shape of the breasts to improve balance between the upper and lower body.
