A tummy tuck aims at eliminating excess fats from the abdomen and flanks. It is most commonly performed on women, but men may also have such a procedure. New York tummy tuck can be done in several ways, depending on your weight, age, and other factors. A traditional tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, which results in a more youthful appearance. This type of tummy tuck can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia only. The modern micro-invasive technique (MICT) allows doctors to perform mini-tummy tucks using minimally invasive techniques that involve less scarring than traditional tummy tucks.
Why is tummy tuck important?
It will help you look thinner and more toned
The tummy tuck is a popular cosmetic surgery for men and women who want to get rid of excess fats in the midsection area. This procedure can help you achieve a slimmer waistline if you have been overweight for some time or if you have had children in the past. If you have lost weight recently, it can also help you regain your postpartum shape after giving birth.
Corrects sagging skin and loose skin
A tummy tuck can help correct sagging skin and loose skin on the abdomen, buttocks, and hips or thighs. If there are stretch marks or scars from previous pregnancies, they may also be removed during this procedure.
Hernia relief
A hernia is a bulge in the abdominal wall that pushes against internal organs or other structures, causing pain and discomfort. A hernia can be caused by obesity or pregnancy, but they most often occur when the belly fat pushes up on the internal organs. During pregnancy, this common complication occurs in about 20% of women.
A tummy tuck is an effective way to correct this condition. A tummy tuck eliminates excess skin and tightens the muscles to reduce the pressure on your internal organs and relieve your back pain.
Improved appearance
In addition to reducing your risk for back pain and other conditions associated with abdominal obesity, a tummy tuck can make you look better by reshaping your contours and improving your posture. In fact, many patients who have undergone a tummy tuck say they feel more confident about their appearance after surgery than before.
Improved Flexibility
A tummy tuck will make you more flexible. That is because it improves the overall appearance of your abdomen by tightening it, especially if you have loose skin hanging over the waistband of your pants. It will also help you attain a better posture so you can sit up straighter, preventing back pain and other problems in this area.
Reduce the appearance of stretch marks
Stubborn stretch marks may be reduced or removed during your tummy tuck procedure. Stretch marks are caused by rapid weight gain or loss in the years following delivery. For instance, pregnancy or weight gain caused by overeating or anabolic steroid use such as anabolic steroids used to build muscle. Stretching of the skin can leave permanent marks on the body that become more prominent over time, often along the sides of the abdomen where extra skin is stretched out during pregnancy or weight gain.
A tummy tuck is a surgery that removes excess fat and skin from your stomach. After the procedure, you will have a flatter tummy with less fatty tissue.
