When to Consider a Tummy Tuck in Tampa

tummy tuck 5

Even if you are eating a healthy diet and exercising, your abdomen may be the most difficult part of your body to tone. Factors like pregnancy, the aging process, or extreme weight fluctuations can lead to abdominal skin and muscles sagging, stretching, and retaining excess fat. No matter how many green smoothies you drink, or how many times you run around the block, this stubborn area of fat simply will not budge. If this describes you, you should consider a tummy tuck procedure in Tampa.

What Is a Tummy Tuck?

You can achieve the body contours that you have been seeking with the help of this procedure. Medically known as an abdominoplasty, it can remove fat and excess skin in the abdominal area by tightening your muscles and skin. This will allow you to fit into that dress you have been wanting to wear or confidently wear a swimsuit.

The procedure itself involves the removal of loose and excess fat and skin. It will help to tighten the muscles of your abdominal wall. Excess skin will be removed, and your stomach will have a tighter, flatter, toned, and more youthful appearance. Although a tummy tuck procedure is quite effective at removing excess skin and fat, it is important that you realize it should not be considered as a replacement for healthy weight loss.

Lipo or Tummy Tuck?

If you are trying to decide between the two procedures, it sometimes comes down to your goals. A liposuction procedure only involves the removal of subcutaneous fat. Unless your abdominal skin is quite elastic, you may have excess skin remaining since it cannot readjust to the sudden loss of fat in this area.

Although a tummy tuck procedure in Tampa can remove a bit of fat, its main goal is tightening excess abdominal skin. It is usually used for those who have already lost the needed weight, but still have skin remaining that needs removing.

When you want to obtain both skin tightening and weight loss, you could always undergo a combination liposuction and tummy tuck procedure to gain the benefits of both types of surgery.

Am I a Good Candidate for This Procedure?

You may make a good candidate for a tummy tuck procedure if you are having difficulty with getting your abdominal area to appear as it did before having a child. Good candidates also tend to be close to their ideal body weight, but need some help with toning. You may make a good candidate if you have undergone extreme weight fluctuations and require excess skin removal.
