Who is a Good Candidate for Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Tummy tuck surgery improves the abdominal contour by removing excess fat and skin, and tightening the muscles.

Tummy tuck surgery or abdominoplasty removes excess fat and skin around the stomach and tightens the muscles in the abdominal wall. It helps men and women achieve a trim, aesthetically pleasing abdominal contour. Tummy tuck in NYC is performed using FDA approved, minimally-invasive advanced liposuction devices such as BodyTite, Smartlipo Triplex and VASER lipo.

Patients who undergo the procedure report higher rates of satisfaction and improvement in quality of life and self-esteem. In fact, the number of people opting to this procedure has increased over the years. As per the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) report, abdominoplasty/ tummy tuck was one among the world’s most popular cosmetic surgical procedures in the year 2016, accounting for 7.4% of all surgical procedures. Of the 769,067 tummy tuck procedures performed globally in 2016, 137,610 procedures were performed in the United States alone.

Candidature for Tummy Tuck If you have a sagging, protruding abdomen that does not respond to dieting and exercise, this cosmetic surgical procedure could help you. The following factors determine a person’s candidature for tummy tuck surgery: •

Has flab, stretch marks or excess skin in the abdomen that does not improve with healthy diet or rigorous exercise.

•

Has extra skin on the abdomen, abdominal muscle weakness, or both due to aging, heredity, prior surgery, weight fluctuations or pregnancy.

•

Is physically healthy

•

Does not smoke or is ready to quit smoking at least six weeks before surgery; smoking can slow down the healing process and increases the risk of complications during and after the procedure.

•

Has a stable weight.

•

Has a positive attitude and realistic expectations about the outcome

Generally, people who are close to their ideal weight and have extra fat and loose skin in the lower tummy are the best candidates for tummy tuck surgery. In fact, this is not weight loss surgery. Women should have the procedure only after they have finished with having children, as the muscles that are repaired during an abdominoplasty can separate again during future pregnancy. Having internal or external scars from any preceding abdominal surgery can affect a person’s candidature for the procedure.
